Tons of Techniques!
At my last Tons of Techniques class I focused on Emboss/Resist techniques.
This card was made with a basic emboss/resist technique using white embossing powder and sponge daubers to apply the ink.Stamps: Doodle This, Fresh Cuts (greeting)
Card Stock: Whisper White, Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Versamark, White Craft, Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: White embossing powder, White grosgrain ribbon, Styled Silver hardware, Dimensionals, Sponge daubers
This card uses an emboss/resist technique that mimics batik. The image is embossed with clear ep then spritzed with water before sponging on the colors (stick with 2 or 3 colors--preferably ones that blend well). The embossed image is then ironed off (place between 2 pieces of copy paper) which flattens the image and gives it that batik look.Stamps: True Friend
Card Stock: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and Confetti White
Inks: Versamark, White craft, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red and More Mustard
Accessories: Flower Fusion, Rhinestone brads (circle fire), Glue dots, Sponges, Clear embossing powder
This is my attempt to case one of Michelle Zindorf's brayered backgrounds with embossed flowers in the foreground. Check out her blog (she's in my blog list)....she has perfected this technique and then some....a true artist! However, I have joined with those who believe that she truly does have a magic brayer 'cause I couldn't get my brayer to duplicate her look at all. So my background is totally sponged! I'll keep workin' on the brayering part.The flowers are stamped, colored and then embossed using a Versamarker and clear ep. This part was done first so that the flowers would resist all the background ink (they really pop). This is so much fun!
