T his is a simple card using the emboss resist technique. When inking over an embossed image the ink will not stick. This makes a beautiful effect and can be used in many ways!
Project Recipe
Using the Chocolate Chip Ink pad stamp the tree image in the middle of the smaller piece of whisper white card stock. Make sure to leave a bit more room on bottom for your sentiment.
Rub the embossing budding all over your cardstock. This will take any static away from the cardstock and not allow the embossing powder to cling to anything other than the Versamark images.
Using the Versamark pad stamp the leaves on top of the tree. Also, stamp the little sway at the bottom of the tree and snow around the tree using the Versamark pad. Be careful not to touch where you stamped with the Versamark as it does not dry immediately and will smudge!
Shake the clear embossing powder all over the Versamarked image. Lightly tap off excessive embossing powder (it should just stick to the Versamark).
Using the heat gun, heat the embossing powder until it melts and turns clear. Be careful not to point the gun directly at your fingers as it gets very hot. If you paper starts to warp you can flip it over and heat the other side to straighten back out!
Ink a dauber with the Pool Party ink pad (do this by just dabbing it directly onto the ink pad). starting off of your paper start moving the dauber in a circular motion gradually bringing the colour onto the edges of the paper. Bring this colour in almost touching the branches.
Repeat the same thing using the Bermuda Bay ink. Just don't bring it as far into the middle. When you are finished doing this ink up the dauber and drag it in a downward motion along the edges of the card stock. You will have to reink your dauber more often for this step!
Using the black Stazon ink pad stamp your sentiment down at the bottom.
Next using the snail runner, attach the image to the middle of the bigger piece of white cardstock making sure the edges on all sides of the bottom piece are even.
After tieing a bow using the Whisper White Bakers twine at the top left of the image put dimensionals on all four corners and 2 in the middle (on the back) Do not attach your card to the Bermuda Bay cardstock yet!
Stamp your sentiment on the inside of your card. If you it's not to your liking you can always turn it inside out and try again. Just make sure the image you don't want will be covered with your tree image on the outside.
Once you are done stamping our sentiment attach the image to the front to the card and viola....You're done!
