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

Versamark/ embossing ink

Clear embossing powder

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

Sketchy flowers stamp set

More Pastel Colours

 

Hi there! Thought I would show you how I made this card today. 

I began by masking off about half of a 5x7" panel of card, and blending pastel distress oxide inks below the tape

Next I sprayed the Big one inkable with water and laid it on top of the inked part of the card. I made sure it had touched the oxide ink all over and then lifted it, blotting away the water on the surface with a clean dry cloth or kitchen roll. 

Next I removed the tape, rubbed over with an anti-static cloth and stamped and heat embossed the sketchy border, using versamark ink and silver embossing powder. 

on a seperate piece of card I stamped the dandedaisy in grey versafine clair ink and coloured it using ecoline markers. I then cut it out.

I trimmed the background panel slightly and attached it to the front of the blank 5x7" card, adding a stamped sentiment in grey versafine clair ink. 

Finally I added the dandedaisy using 3d foam pads.

I used:

Dandedaisy stamp set

Freehand Borders #1 stamp set

Small Words stamp set

Big ones inkable - I used botanical garden

Distress oxide inks - I used squeezed lemonade, tumbled glass, shaded lilac and spun sugar.

Versamark ink/ embossing ink

A quick card in Pastel colours

 

Hi There! I am here with a quick and simple card for you today. 

I began by adding masking tape about a third of the way across a 5x5" card blank, then blending speckled egg distress ink through the inkable big one, but not up to the edge of the card.

Next I used the mandala inkable and blended kitsch flamingo Distress Oxide ink through it 

on a separate scrap of card I stamped the smaller dandedaisy in memento ink and coloured with alcohol markers. 

I stuck this to the card along the area where the tape was.

I stamped the sentiment using second generation Fantasia Versafine Clair ink.

Finally I added some more stamping using the worker stamps from Journaling Essentials #4 and Speckled egg distress ink. I also added spots of gold liquid pearls around the mandala.

Pastel Daisy card

 

Hi there! Thought I would show you how I made this card today. 

I began by blending a little dusty Concord, peacock feathers and mustard seed distress ink along one side of an A6 piece of mixed media card. 

I brushed over it with a damp brush to blend the colours a little more. 

Once this was completely dry, I stamped the script background stamp in faded lilac over most of the card. You can see where I accidentally splattered the card whilst cleaning my stamp, but I carried on regardless! 

I added a little more ink through the circles dinkable and attached the panel to a blank card.

Next I stamped the Dandedaisy onto a scrap of card in memento ink and coloured it with alcohol markers.

I cut out the daisy and added it to the front of the card along with a sentiment. 

Here is the finished card again. 

I used:

6x4 card blank

Mixed media card

Distress inks in Dusty Concord, peacock feathers, mustard seed and faded lilac
