Now for the pleasure! I have been joining in with the Creative Colour Challenges over on https://creativecolourchallenges.blogspot.com for a while now. As this week's colours were so much softer than last weeks, I thought I would try a different technique for the background. I have never had much success with colour washes, but nevertheless I was in for giving it a go.
As you can see it was not the best effect, and actually looked quite muddy. No amount of overstamping in the two inks I had would make it look better. So I abandoned the first attempt and started again.
This time I used a technique I know and love - Emboss Resist. This is where you heat emboss your pattern onto white cardstock using white embossing powder, and then brush ink of your choice over the top. A quick buff with a soft cloth afterwards brings the white pattern to life. I like how this card turned out. What do you think?
You can get the card and inks I used for todays project over at www.stampinup.uk, and don't forget to search for me by name - and also if you are quick you will get a big discount.
Happy crafting!
