At card club recently I shared a type of emboss resist technique with my lovely ladies. We used the spring catalogue stamp set Happy Watercolour to stamp in versamark on watercolour paper and then heat emboss it with clear powder. You can then add colour washes with your aqua painters and ink pools created in the lid of your ink pads and a little more stamping using other stamps from the set along with stamps from Summer Silhouettes, Wetlands, Simply Sketched ( hostess set) and Gorgeous Grunge.
You can then mount your finished artwork on basic black card stock and onto naturals ivory card stock for the base card. A sentiment from the ever useful and popular stamp set Perfectly Penned provides you with a striking card.
Now I'm not a colourer inner or a watercolourist, but this technique allows you to get the satisfaction of looking like you might be one day!! I've done a similar one in different colours which once mounted and finished I will share.
Enjoy what's left of your weekend!
