Resist it!

























stamps used:  Unity stamp co.

Did some embossed resist technique cards after seeing Whitney from Unity stamp co., made several on a LIVE on Facebook.  It reminded me of an old technique that I used to like a long time ago, so I decided to create some cards.  
The photo on the left are the panels and the photo on the right are the finished cards.  
Basic instructions:
1.  stamp and emboss image with white or clear ink and embossing powder.
2.  blend colors over embossed image with stipple brushes, picket fence brushes or even sponges.
3.  buff the colored cards off with a soft cloth to remove any excess wet ink on the embossed image.  this step helps the image pop.
4.  trim down panel and layer on note card.
5.  stamp and emboss sayings on separate cardstock.  fussy cut or die cut and mount sayings on note cards.
***for these cards I did like Whitney did on her's ... which was add a piece of ripped vellum on the card before mounting the sayings***
