pretty medallion embossed resist card

pretty medallion embossed resist card

Embossed resist is such a cool technique!
The Pretty Medallions background stamp is a perfect stamp for this technique!

I started with a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card scored at 4 1/4″ of Basic White cardstock.

I inked the background stamp with Versamark and Heat set with a heat tool until the Clear embossing powder melted.

Using three inks: Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party and three Blending brushes I burnished color starting with the Starry sky in the middle in a circular design and then radiating outward with Tahitian Tide in the middle and Parakeet Party on the periphery.
Keep burnishing with color until you get the color depth desired.
I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set on a Stylish Shapes banner die in Starry Sky ink. Pooped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and added 2022-2024 In Color Decorative Dots embellishments.
I added Parakeet Party Metallic Woven ribbon to finish the card with coordinating bling!

Hope you enjoyed this easy technique and are able to try your hand at emboss resist soon. Go out and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

This is my favorite July-August 2022 Sale-a-bration Item! This set is so fun and full of great sentiments and sayings!

scored at 4 1/4″
Layers: Basic White 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Basic White (embossed layer) 5 1/4″ x 4
Scraps: Basic White for the sentiment

This card is perfect for using one of our returning favorites – the Embossing Additioons Tool Kit (#159971) which includes the Embossing Buddy, the Powder Pal, Crafting Tweezers, and a Crafting Brush.

Using the Stamparatus ink up the Spiral Dye stamp and stamp the image onto the smaller Basic White CS layer.

Place in the Powder Pal and sprinkle the Clear embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders (#155554) set.

Using the tweezers hold the paper and heat with the Heat tool so you do not burn your fingers since the entire layer is embossed.
Heat until the powder changes to a shiny smooth surface, do not overheat as you can singe the powder.
Starting in the spiral center, Brush on ink color in rainbow order – Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, and Poppy Parade inks with the Blending brushes.
Using a paper towel or a dried up baby wipe – burnish the surface so that the embossed areas return to their white coloring.
Layer the embossed layer onto the larger Basic White layer.
Adhere that layer onto the Poppy Parade base card. Then add the sentiment to the lower portion of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add 2022-2024 In Colors Decorative Matte Dots in a rainbow gradient of colors and your fun and cheery rainbow emboss resist card is complete. Try a fun and cheery card and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
