My first card for our lessons on days 5 and 6 entitled Backgrounds into the Foreground uses emboss resist to create the background, and then the embossing is ironed off so that none of the shine remains. It is a cool way to create a patterned piece.I chose the Hero Arts Square Pattern Background CG458, and embossed it with clear powder using versamark ink. Then I applied distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, and Peacock Feathers to the unembossed areas using a waterbrush. Then the iron came out (gotta use it for something).
Applying heat with a paper barrier between the iron and the embossed piece removed all the embossing leaving a matte cardstock piece with the coloring intact. I applied a bold sentiment, that pattern is bold so it needed a statement, from Technique Tuesday called Incredible.
Thanks for stopping by, I will have one more homework item today, but first I must make dinner.
This turned out great! My iron is still packed somewhere, so I couldn't do this technique for homework. :(
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern for this technique! I love the bold color combo and your sentiment is just perfect! Another awesome card, Cat!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! Really like the stamp, color and sentiment choices!
ReplyDeleteI know about that technique but never do it. Thanks for the inspiration!
