This week’s tip is Emboss Resist which is a technique that involves heat embossing. Last week I shared how to heat emboss, so I thought this would be a great next step.
Heat Emboss: First I rubbed the embossing buddy over my paper to remove any static. I stamped my flower image in Versamark. I poured on the embossing powder. You can use clear or white. I used white on this Whisper White cardstock. I tipped off the excess powder and put it back into the container. Lastly I set it by heating it with a heat tool. To learn more about how to heat emboss or the tools and products you need, check out last week’s post here.
Now for the Emboss Resist part. I sponged the paper with ink. I used Daffodil Delight and Blushing Bride. The ink goes onto the card, but, the ink doesn’t stay where the embossed image is – it resists – so the white embossed flowers stand out.
This is a fun technique to try. Over the next couple days I will share some cards I made using this emboss resist technique.
