PROJECT OF THE WEEK - EASY RESIST

Hi everyone!  Cheri here for The House That Stamps Built, with a super easy resist technique that you can use for almost any card you want to make.  

The supplies you'll need are supplies I'm sure you already have.  

Supplies:  sponge daubers, (or some other sponge small enough to color your image), dye inks, embossing ink, (I used VersaMark), white embossing powder and an embossing buddy or something else that you use to keep embossing powder from sticking to areas you don't want it to.  

Step one:  Use your embossing buddy or whatever you use to keep embossing powders from sticking where you don't want it to.  

Step two:  Ink up the stamp of your choice with VersaMark or whatever you use for embossing ink.  Stamp the image then cover it with white embossing powder.

Step three:  Using your sponge, pick up your first color and lightly apply it to your image.

Continue applying color as you desire to the image.  You can blend colors if you like, but always use a light hand when applying the ink.  

Step four: Take a clean paper towel or soft cloth and wipe the ink from the raised embossed image.  This makes the image pop and recesses the ink.  

Step five:  Assemble your card as you'd like.  

Repeat Impression Stamps used for this card are #1505-N "Rose Border" and #3906-H "Easter Blessings".  

See!  I told you easy as can be!  I hope you'll give this technique a try and if you do, I think you'll enjoy the results.  

INSPIRATION CHALLENGE TIME AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hi blog friends!!!  

It's time for an inspiration challenge at The House  and you're going to love it, it brings out the fun and happy in us.  (or at least it did for me!)  

The frame was created with Brushos and water, as was the bg inside the window.  Stamps used were RI#306-G "Cat Back", #2501-H "Happy Birthday from.." (I cut this stamp so I could use just the Happy Birthday, I love the size and the font), #3404-C "Random Dots" and #911-F "Balloon". 


You will love what the other Rock Stars have done with this inspiration....check them out.

We all hope you'll come over and join in on the challenge....the details are at THE HOUSE.  Your entry will get you into a drawing for a $25.00 gift certificate for Repeat Impression stamps.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Happy Wednesday, blog friends!  

For this week's challenge over at The House, Patti J is hosting and her challenge is to create a card using more than one fold.  

My card opens first from the left, with an open window, and then on the inside to the right  which I die cut, on the front.  The center panel is left empty for a handwritten message.  

Repeat Impression stamps used:  RI#912-K "Tulip Bouquet" and the sentiment is RI#2501-H "Happy Birthday from...".  The tulips were colored with Copics and for some dimension I added some drops of Glossy Accents for water droplet effects.

I'm so happy you've stopped by and you don't want to miss the other Rock Stars for some more incredible inspiration.
