I finally tried an emboss resist card! I saw tons of them at my Aunt Karen's house in Ohio a few weeks ago. It's one of her favorite techniques, which she learned from her good friend and downline Michelle Zindorf, the master of this technique. My first attempt had way too much white around the flowers. Silly me - you have to stay in the lines for this one when coloring with the VersaMarker, or else you'll have a white border around EVERYTHING. Remember that when you try this technique, otherwise you'll end up doing a whole lot of coloring and embossing for nothing;0) This one was definitely better than the first. Email me for the steps. It's a really fun way to create a scene on white paper, and you'd never know you started with white! That's blue ink I sponged over my stamping/inking. (That's why I embossed the flowers first, using the VersaMarker and clear embossing powder.)
And here are two "swaps" from my Philly Inkers meeting this week. Card 1: Gina Thornton, Card 2: Renee Tucci - I love that cute little tricycle in the background!!! Click on the picture for a better look.
