Above The Clouds - Emboss Resist Technique

Today I'm sharing another card I made using the Above the Clouds bundle, and this one uses the Emboss Resist technique.

Emboss Resist is a technique using heat embossing and sponging. I heat embossed the clouds with White embossing powder onto Whisper White cardstock, and then I sponged Balmy Blue ink over it, making those clouds really pop!


You can control the amount of ink used and how much you blend to really make a beautiful background.







 

Just like the last card I shared, it makes a great "sky-scape" for those hot air balloons!

I hope you enjoy this card! All the details are below:

PRODUCTS USED:

STAMPS:  Above The Clouds

INK:  Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Versamark

CARDSTOCK: Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Whisper White

Above The Clouds - Watercolor Wash Technique

Isn't this card pretty? I love the color combo - its so classic and I've used it on quite a few different projects this past year.  I've said it before and I'll say it again....Lovely Lipstick is retiring and I am really going to miss it!!

ALSO - the background is the Swirls & Curls embossing folder -- ALSO retiring!!

This card was made with a technique called Watercolor Wash. I used an Aqua Painter filled with water and wet the watercolor paper down first. Then I dipped the brush into Pool Party ink --I like to squeeze the ink pad leaving a pool of ink in the lid -- and "washed" the ink all over the watercolor paper to create the background. For this specific card, I concentrated more ink in the center area for a darker look and blended outward for a lighter wash on the edges. Note that I didn't go all the way to the edge, but you can if you want! Then I stamped a few clouds over it when it dried. This made the perfect base to mount those beautiful balloons on!

I hope you like this card! All the details to make it are below:

PRODUCTS USED:

STAMPS:  Above the Clouds

INK: Lovely Lipstick, Pool Party, Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark

CARDSTOCK:  Lovely Lipstick, Pool Party, Rococo Rose, Whisper White, Fluid 100 Watercolor paper

Lovely Lipstick Base - 5-1/2” by 8 1/2”, scored at 4-1/4"

Lovely Lipstick embossed layer - 5-1/4 by 4"

Pool Party strip - 4-3/4" by 1/2"

Watercolor paper - 3" by 4-3/4"

Lovely Lipstick - 2" by 3" for the balloon

Rococo Rose - 2" by 3" for the balloon

Whisper White - 2-1/2" by 2-1/2" for the circle
16"of White Bakers twine

1.  After cutting and scoring the base, fold in half.
2.  Emboss the Lovely Lipstick cardstock with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder and adhere to card front.
3.  Using the Watercolor Wash technique with Pool Party ink, apply the ink to the watercolor paper.
4. Stamp the two balloon images onto the Lovely Lipstick and Rococo Rose pieces using Versamark ink, sprinkle on White Embossing powder and heat emboss. Punch these out with the Hot Air Balloon punch.
5.  Stamp your greeting onto the Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and cut the Stitched Shape circle die. Stamp the tiny heart with Lovely Lipstick ink.
6.  Cut the bakers twine in half, and with both pieces together tie a bow.
7.  When the watercolor paper is dry, stamp the cloud image with Pool Party ink.
8.  Adhere the Pool Party scrap to the back of the watercolor paper with about 1/4" showing on the left, and then adhere to the card front.
9.  Attach the two balloons and the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals, and then attach the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
