Embossing Resist Tutorial

Hi there!

I thought I would share a little embossing resist tutorial with you today, you will need Versamark, clear embossing powder, a heat gun, and a couple of contrasting colours of mist.

I have created a card with this technique, but it would also be great on the background of a layout.

Start by stamping and embossing an image onto your base, heat set the embossing powder.

Now spray a little mist onto a craft mat (or a piece of recycled plastic - I try to reuse all my crafty garbage at least once before I toss it)  you will want a little puddle of each, you do not need a lot.

Using a baby wipe or a foam brush rub a little of the deepest colour across your embossed image, going a little wider than the image in all directions.  

 
Give the image a little clean up with a baby wipe to make the embossed area more visible.  The embossing gives you some working time.

 
Repeat the last two steps for each colour you choose to use.

 
After a final wipe, I used the tube / paint stamping technique from last week to put a ring around the age of the recipient of this card to play up on the image.  Then I mounted my base onto a card front and stamped a birthday sentiment.

I think I will give this a try on a layout, I think it could be a fun way to highlight some random stamping.

Thanks for visiting!

The technique without a name!

Hi there!

I have a new tutorial to share with you today.  I do not even know what to call this one, but it incorporates stamping, paint, randomness and recycling.  It is easy enough for the  kiddies to do, too.  So it has to be good, right!

So grab yourself some paint (any colour is fine), waxed paper to make for a nice flat palette with easy clean up, and a paper towel tube.  (If you want to hear my rant on using toilet paper tubes in crafting you can pop over to my personal blog, but I will spare you readers from it here! )

Next decide what you want to use for your background, I decided on plain off-white cardstock.

Then I just started stamping, I used a fairly regular pattern, but random stamping would work fine too.

After my paint stamping dried I used my creation for a card background, I think it turned out pretty cute.

Can you imagine using this technique on a scrapbook page background, kind of the way you would use a mask.  I think it would be incredible, and quick and easy!
