It's that time again - time for the Papertrey Senior Design Team gals to get together and participate in a challenge issued to us by Nichole! This month's challenge was to do something with a resist technique - whether it be an old technique or something completely new. I chose to do the clear emboss resist - so simple yet it has such a cool look to it!
I chose the Women of Life set for my project, and stamped the cluster flower stamp onto PT white cardstock with VersaMark then embossed them with clear embossing powder.
I then pulled out my Lavender Moon ink pad and a sponge dauber and sponged ink over the flowers. The clear embossing powder resists the ink so that the flowers "pop" and appear white (this is a great technique if you want to use multiple colors of ink - for my project I wanted to stick with just the one color).
I used a sharp pair of detail scissors (these ones are from Stampin' Up!) to cut out the flowers leaving a small border around each one.
To finish off each flower I added buttons sewed on with string.
And here's my finished card!
I stamped the stems onto PT Aqua Mist CS using Spring Moss ink (I purposely stamped them more to the left for visual interest).
The sentiment is also from the Women of Life set - I omitted the dots when I inked it up.
The green "strip" is actually Spring Moss twill ribbon - it didn't show up well in this photo.
