Just Add Ink #460 - Emboss Resist

The challenge at Just Add Ink this week is to use the technique 'Emboss Resist'. 


I chose to make a card using the Beauty Abounds Cling Stamp Set and Butterfly Beauty Dies from Stampin'Up!®.


I first stamped the floral and 'splodge' images with Versamark ink on Whisper White cardstock and then heat embossed these with white embossing powder.
I then sponged the cardstock with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Balmy Blue inks starting from the left and graduating darker to light. The white embossed images resist the colour (hence the technique title Emboss Resist) and really pop
To create texture, I flicked my markers over the cardstock to form speckles.


I die cut the butterflies from Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Balmy Blue cardstock using the Butterfly Beauty dies. I then covered them with clear Wink of Stella to make them sparkle.
The sentiment is from the Piece Of Cake stamp set and is heat embossed with white embossing powder on Basic Black cardstock and mounted on Mini Dimensionals.

What Will You Stamp? Challenge - Tropical Chic #WWYS222

The What Will You Stamp? Challenge is featuring one of my favourite stamp sets this week - Tropical Chic.


This was one of the first sets I bought when it was released last year and comes with great coordinating dies.
For my project I have chosen a One Sheet Wonder using a hand stamped A4 sheet of Whisper White cardstock for my patterned paper instead of the traditional Designer Series Paper.

One Sheet Wonder - create 6 cards from one sheet of A4 cardstock using Tropical Chic

I stamped the leaf and fern images in Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide and then coloured the leaf veins in Mint Macaron with a Stampin' Write Marker.

I then cut all of the pieces I needed to make 6 cards from the one sheet.

For all the card bases I used Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I used the Tropical Dies to cut out the stamped flowers, leaves and ferns to embellish the individual cards.
