How to do Emboss Resist

Today's card features emboss resist which involves heat embossing and ink blending. Plus, I have a video to show you exactly how to do the emboss resist technique. It also has splatters and dry embossing. I only have one card to share with you today, but it's a doozie! You'll want to watch the video to catch all of the tips and techniques!

I'm also participating in Kylie Bertucci's Internation Blog Highlight's Winners Hop. Remember a few weeks ago when I shared this awesome card using the smooshing technique and I asked you to vote for me? I made it into the top 10 and was invited to hop along with the other winners! Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for me! When you're done here, please check out all of the other gorgeous thank you cards by the other winners. (It's so important to thank the ones you appreciate and I love that this is the theme for Kylie's hop!) You'll find a list at the end of this blog post. If you live in the US and need stamps, paper, ink, or accessories, I hope you stop back here and shop with me. I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and help make your crafting experiences an awesome one!

So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

​Cutting Dimensions:
Terracotta Tile: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Bumblebee: 3 11/16" x 4 15/16"
Very Vanilla: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

I began by heat embossing a leaf stamp from the Forever Fern stamp set using clear embossing powder. Then, I did ink blending over the embossed images using Bumblebee, Petal Pink, and Terracotta Tile inks. I wiped the extra ink off using a soft cloth to reveal the embossed leaves.

Next, I stamped different leaves using Terracotta Tile and Bumblebee ink. Again, I wiped off the embossed images to remove extra ink. Then, I splattered my card front with water using a Water Painter and with my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. 

To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Here's a Card stamp set that says: "Thank you for being my friend." I love this sentiment and it's perfect for so many occasions. (Plus, it would be awesome for your bestie who loves the Golden Girls!) I tied the front with the Forever Fern Trim Combo pack. I tied the vanilla ribbon in a knot first. Then, I tied a double bow of the gold cord around the knot of the vanilla ribbon. Some simple layering and the card's done.

There are quite a few steps to today's card, but it goes quickly. And it's so much fun watching the embossed images reappear from the ink you apply over them!
