Emboss resist

I used GinaK's Elegant Flowers set to revisit the old emboss resist technique. Gina has been reviewing lots of techniques that many stampers know, but have forgotten about, over on Stamp TV. It's fun! Emboss resist is simple. Emboss an image in clear, then sponge color over it. The color of your original cardstock, pink in this case, will show through. I used GinaK's Floral Frenzy kit for all the stamps, paper and ribbon on this card. The inks are Ancient Page Agean Blue, Pine and Pink.

I hope you are enjoying some beautiful spring weather! I have noticed a slowdown of Internet based activites in myself and others. Let's not lose touch, though!! I'll try not to go four days without posting again for awhile!

Good reminder, you're right -- I haven't done that in donkey's years ...

I need a nap. That has nothing to do with anything; it just occurred to me right here, right now, so thought I'd share. Woot!
