This is so different than what I've been posting so far, eh? Lately it's been all clean and crisp but this card is anything but crisp! I started out with doing a technique .. yes, a technique! I generally stay far away from techniques because I rarely am happy with the results I get ... BUT, this one is a tried and true technique called "Emboss Resist". Many of you, I'm sure, are familiar with it, but for those that aren't, here's a quick how-to:
• Supplies: Basically, all you need is (or as I used on this card) white card stock, stamps, versa mark, clear embossing powder, sponges, and ink. Pretty basic supplies, right?
• Now, I first sponged the edges of this piece before doing this step for a little extra. Take your stamps, ink 'em up with versa mark and stamp randomly on the white cardstock. In this case, I used a wheel. Then emboss with clear embossing powder and allow to cool.
• With a sponge, sponge colour all over the embossed piece of cardstock. Then, take a piece of tissue and wipe any excess ink from your embossed images. Embossing "resists" the ink. Done!
See what I mean? Easy technique with no-fail results!
So, onto the rest of this card. I extended the branch that this bird is sitting on using a masking technique and then I watercoloured the whole thing. The image and the sentiment are both stamped with Chocolate Chip craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
Anywho, long enough chit chat, eh? Hope you like this card! Thanks for visiting!!!
