Emboss Resist Background

 This month, the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge is to create our own background. I chose to do a technique that is a favourite of mine - Emboss Resist.

I started with a white piece of cardstock and blended the yellow, orange and green ink all over it. After letting it dry completely, I stamped the flowers and leaves with VersaMark ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I blended on the brown ink over the entire card. The embossed flowers and leaves resisted the brown ink, and let the colours underneath show through.

I stamped another flower and a couple of leaves and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with an oval die and layered it onto a scalloped oval die cut. 

After I had all the layers attached, I added a few rhinestones to add a bit of bling.

I used the following supplies:
