Technique Tuesday - Emboss Resist

Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday. Today I am playing with Emboss Resist using stamped images. 

What you will need is Versamark or other sticky or slow drying ink pad, clear embossing powder, anti static pouncer, a blender brush or sponge dauber, stamp set and inks of your choice.

I am using the Pine Tree Trimmings and Pool Party and Old Olive colour palette and the Traditional Sparkling gem embellishments. 

Than you want to take your card front and stamp your images in Versamark, sprinkle with the clear embossing powder and tap off the excess and heat set with a heat gun. Once set you can add in your colour with the blending brush. So I added the Old Olive around the stars to create the soft glow of trees. Once you have the look you like use a Kleenex or Paper Towel and burnish the embossed areas to remove and residual ink and make the white pop. 

Finish your card design as desired. I sponged on Pool Party around the top for clouds and then torn a couple pieces of Whisper White paper to create snowbanks along the bottom and covered them with Wink Of Stella for the glistening snow look. Added my sentiment and some embellishments to complete the design. 

Happy Stampin’
