I am sharing a card I made for The Color Throwdown and The Card Concept. The colours and the inspiration photo from The Color Throwdown inspired me to use my distress inks and to do the emboss resist technique.
- I inked the foliage in Versamark ink on glossy paper and then added clear embossing powder to it. Don't forget to use your embossing buddy!
- Then I set the powder with my heat gun.
- After that I used the distress inks to create a blue, green, yellow background.
- I applied a SRM Sticker for the sentiment and punched out a vellum butterfly with my old Martha Stewart punch.
This is so pretty, I love how you used the colours combined with the emboss resist technique. Hugs Bev x
