Emboss Resist

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you some emboss resist for some more pastel inspiration for this month's challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group. 

I began by stamping a 4" square of white card with the freehand borders using Versamark ink. I sprinkled with Clear embossing powder and heated. 

Next I used various patel shades of distress oxide inks to blend over the embossing. 

Once I was happy with the colours, I gave a light spritz with water and also with Distress Spritz in Fossilized Amber.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the sketchy flower in Sand Dune ink and coloured using pastel coloured pencils. 

On another scrap of white card, I stamped the sentiment using lilac bloom ink and trimmed it to size.

Using 3d foam pads, I attached the background, the flower and the sentiment to the front of the 5x5" card.

Finally, here is a close up of the sparkly background showing the shimmer.

I used:

Freehand Borders #1

Distress oxide inks - I used tumbled glass, twisted citron, dried marigold, shaded lilac and spun sugar.

Who can resist a rainbow?

 

Hi There! Thought I would have a little play with one of my favourite stamps of the moment and make a simple card using emboss resist.

I began by blending distress ink across a piece of smooth white card. I used crackling campfire, mustard seed, peacock feathers, blueprint sketch and villainous potion.

once this was totally dry I gave it a wipe with an antistatic bag, then stamped the leaves in versamark ink and heat embossed using clear embossing powder. 

I let this cool for a few seconds then sponged black soot distress oxide ink over the top, wiping over with a dry cloth to reveal the embossed areas. 

On a scrap of black card I stamped the sentiment in versamark ink and embossed using white embossing powder.

Finally I matted and layered the rainbow panel and the sentiment to a 13x18cm card. 

I used:

A 7.5x13cm piece of smooth white card

Distress inks in crackling campfire, mustard seed, peacock feathers, blueprint sketch and villainous potion

paper for matting and layering
