Same stamp set -Forever Fern

 Same stamp set - Forever Fern

October is same stamp set for my local card swapping ladies.  We decided on SU Forever Fern.

I did what I consider a simple card with a favorite older technique.  This technique is emboss resist.

Basic instructions:

1. Stamp image with clear embossing ink, sprinkle with either clear or white embossing powder.  

Tip:  Remember to dust cardstock first with embossing buddy pouch to get rid of most of the static.  

2. Heat with embossing tool to melt the embossing powder.  

3.  Blend or sponge on color with your favorite tool, and inks. You can add as much or less color as you like.  

4.  Buff off embossed images with soft cloth to make the image pop under the color.

Emboss resist

 Emboss resist

Emboss resist is an old technique but a good one.  I learned it way back when I was working at a stamp store before it closed.

                                                        stamps used:  MFP (out of business) and Unity stamp co.

Basic instructions for emboss resist:
