For this class we'll be pulling out the sanding paper/blocks to sand over the raised high points on embossed, coated cardstock or paper. The card/paper to be sanded must have a different colour core so you can then re-colour it to make the high points stand out. Your choise of embossing folder also matters as one that has lots of open areas doesn't show off this technique to its best advantage. I prefer to use the 3D embossing folders for this technique. I used a combination of the following, mirror card (white core), watercolour paper that had been watercoloured previously (white core), and black-coated Kraft card (Kraft core). You can also use various ways of adding colour, Distress Ink Pads, Oxide Distress Ink Pads and on coated paper (mirror card), you can use black paint but that needs to be treated a little differently as you don't want the black paint to dry before wiping it off. The idea of the black paint is you want it in the crevices, not over the whole thing.
