Emboss Resist Technique in Cardmaking

I have been using the emboss resist technique in cardmaking to create today’s project for the Stamping With Friends blog hop.

This hop is using the Emboss Resist Technique as its theme, so you will see variety of ideas from demonstrators around the world.

My Project

Emboss resist Technique on a sympathy card using Seaside bay bundle from Stampin' Up!

For my project I decided to use the new Seaside Bay Bundle to create this sympathy card.

I started by stamping the seashell and sand image across the bottom of a piece of Basic White card and heat embossed it in clear ink. Using a blending brush, I added Sahara Sand ink over the top of the embossing and the images popped from the background. I took the Sahara Sand colour about half way up the card. Next, I added a band of Balmy Blue ink . I didn’t take this right to the top of the card, and left a space for the sentiment.

The sentiment and trio of birds were stamped with Basic Gray ink and the swirl of dots with Balmy Blue

To finish the card front, I die cut some grasses from Soft Succulent card stock and some shells from Pearlescent Speciality paper. A swirl of silver thread was layered with the die cuts.

The side opening card base was Sahara Sand. I added a mat of Basic Gray and then stuck the card front in place.
