Emboss Resist

Emboss Resist – Sponging – Negative Image:

High Tide

I love this project because it is so simple to make yet so very stunning. Trust me, the photo doesn’t

do it justice. I’ve used three colours for this project, all blues obviously.


Stamp Set:

• High Tide [143006]

Cardstock Details:

• Artwork – Whisper White [106549] 9cm x 13.3cm

• Mat – Dapper Denim [141419] 9.5cm x 13.8cm

• Cardbase – Thick Whisper White Cardstock [140490] 10.5cm x 29.6cm

Colouring:

• Soft Sky Inkpad [131181]

• Marina Mist Inkpad [126962]

• Dapper Denim Inkpad [141394]

• Dapper Denim Stampin’ Write Marker [141393]

Other Supplies used:

• Embossing Buddy [103083]

• Versamark [102283]

• Clear Emboss Powder [109130] *alternatively you could also use White Emboss Powder

[109132]

• Heat Tool U.K [129054]

• Stampin’ Sponges [141337]

• Kitchen Paper

• Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755]

• C6 Whisper White Envelopes [106588]

To work out what size of card you will need, determine what size of envelop you are

using and make sure to make the folded card base to fit within that.

My envelope is C6 11.4cm x 16.2cm so I always work my folded card bases on a

maximum size of 10.5cm x 14.8cm.

This takes in to account the size of the U.K A4 cardstock 21cm x 29.6cm. I can get 2

standard card bases from this.

Use your Embossing Buddy to prepare cardstock for heat embossing. Now using Versamark ink,

stamp the lighthouse, lightbeam, sand/foam and water. Pour the embossing powder over this and

carefully heat set the embossing powder using the Heat Tool. I never tire of watching this process.

It’s like magic! 😊

With a Stampin’ Sponge, apply some Soft Sky ink to the

embossed area of your artwork.

This not only adds colour but helps you to outline

exactly the area where you wish to deposit the other

colours.

This will give you a little confidence if you’re hesitant to

apply the darker inks.

Now apply some Marina Mist ink likewise. Take time to

blend this in nicely. I find that the more you work the

sponge, the softer the blending looks.


Now carefully apply Dapper Denim ink to the

lighthouse. Blend it out very slightly but don’t allow it

to overpower the other previously applied colours.

In the water area, you can see that I’ve only applied a

shading of the Dapper Denim ink to almost look like

shadow on the water.

Using Marker to Stamp Technique, colour the word

‘Shine’ and stamp. (use Stampin’ Write marker to

colour in only the area of the stamp you wish to ink

up. Once colour is on the stamp, breath over it to

reactivate the ink, then stamp)

You will notice that I purposely let the ink dry and

separate a little on the stamp before stamping it. This

caused a lovely distressed look to the sentiment.

Stamp the birds using Dapper Denim inkpad.

Gently wipe over the embossed area with Kitchen

Towel to remove any excess ink, and that is your

artwork complete.


Assembly:

Simply adhere the artwork to your mat then on to

your cardbase.

Hints & Tips …..

• When you pick up ink from your inkpad, in preparation for sponging, make sure to dab the

sponge first on a piece of scrap paper. This takes off any excess ink that would cause inky

patches to show on your artwork.
