When I saw this week's Muse Challenge card by Karen M, I knew I wanted to try a similar emboss resist inky technique … it's been a long time since I broke out the white embossing powder.
I started by stamping an image from Sheena's Silhouette Grasses in Chipped Sapphire Distress ink on white cardstock. I dired it with my heat gun to try to speed up the process and then stamped another image from that set in white ink and embossed with white embossing powder.
You can see that I didn't wait quite long enough for my first stamping to dry, and ended-up with some white powder on my background image … but I actually think the effect softens the image, so I kept going.
I started by sponging Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then added some Peacock Feathers & more Chipped Sapphire ink to for some shadows. I finished with some butterflies punched with black cardstock and my white pen to add dots to the black cardstock border.
When I was done, it just seemed like a sympathy card to me, so I added an SRM Wishing You Well Sticker sentiment.
Love the layered look of your take on this week’s Muse – thanks for playing along, Stef!
Oh, I do like that bit of white that stuck around! Gorgeous card! I love your yeti! I have managed not to spend anything on him yet! 😉
