Emboss Resist

Are you following the challenges for the Papertrey Ink Anniversary celebration on Nichole Heady's blog? Today's challenge is to create a card using the emboss resist technique so I had to play along.

The emboss resist technique is fun and easy. I stamped the solid heart with Versamark ink on a polka dot patterned paper and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next I took my Distress Ink Peeled Paint and sponged it all over the polka dot square. When you're done sponging the ink on you can take a tissue or towel and wipe any excess ink off the embossed image showing where the clear embossing resists the ink. Archival Ink will stamp on embossed images so I used that to stamp my sentiment over the top.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful evening!

Supplies:
  • Stamps - Papertrey Ink Heart Prints
  • Paper - Stampin Up Blush Blossom, Chocolate Chip; K&Company Lovely paper pack
  • Ink - Versamark, Distress Ink Peeled Paint, Archival Ink Jet Black
  • Misc - Clear embossing powder, Lace, Ribbon, Button

Wow, this is an amazing showcase card for unusual valentine's colors! Love the technique and the spotlight heart. So very pretty. Nice feminine touch with the lace too. I haven't ever used lace in my cards, but seeing this really makes me want to! Thanks for the inspiration.
