Woo hoo, I'm back with my second post for today. This card uses emboss resist again but in a different way than my card earlier. I stamped my images (2 step stamping) with pigment ink, then stamped the solid images in versamark on top and heat embossed using clear embossing powder. I then took a distress marker (tumbled glass) and went around the outside of my image and using a water brush, water colored the image to give it a soft glow. I had to make my card 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 because I smudged the top of my water color paper, ugh!!! I hate when I do that!!! Also, it looks like I should have used a different brown ink pad, as that one looks a little washed out :(
Super fun class and I am REALLY enjoying it!! Thanks for looking and have a wonderful Tuesday!!
Sorry for the bad photo, I tried to take a photo outside, but I didn't like the way it looked, so I am stuck with a bad photo in my dark crap room!! It is also hard to see the shine of the embossing. Oh well, c'est la vie!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Jean. I watched the video, went upstairs, emptied the dishwasher and thought about what I was going to do, came downstairs with a plan in my head! It is a lot easier when you have the colours and the technique chosen for you, lol!
