Embossing the image lets you create beautiful layers of color because the embossed image will resist the ink you add on top.
For these cards, I created a simple border with the emboss resist technique.
I started by masking off a border with low-tack purple tape. Then I applied two colors of Distress Oxide ink (to get the perfect green) with a blending brush.
When the ink was completely dry (because I don't want the embossing powder to stick to everything), I stamped the some cacti in clear embossing ink and embossed with clear powder.
Then I layered a darker Distress Oxide ink on top with a blending brush.
I used a clean paper towel to remove the excess ink from the embossed images and then pulled the tape away to reveal my border.
I love the clean & simple look and it pairs well with the fantastic sentiments from the Best Sentiments stamp set! I am going to use those sentiment stamps sooooo much!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
