Jane's Doodles Challenge #6: Embossing
/The new challenge at Jane’s Doodles is embossing. Hope you will join in the Embossing Challenge it is such a fun theme with so many options and techniques. I may have got carried away with the new challenge, I was having so much with the emboss resist technique.
Since Easter is just around the corner and it has a wonderful collection of small stamps I choose to use Jane’s Doodles Funny Bunny stamp set to create the emboss resist background.
Emboss Resist:
This one all starts with a fun technique of emboss resist. I played around with my Tombow markers, lots of water and a couple of kinds of cardstocks: Bristol Smooth and Tim Holtz watercolour paper to see which one I liked best.
First I picked out some more muted rainbow colour markers because I was making Easter cards after all.
Then I scribbled in rainbow order the Tombow markers on the card stocks and blended with water and a paint brush. I did find that the blend still showed faint lines on the Bristol smooth card stock, more than on the Tim Holtz paper.
Once the colours were blended and dried I added another layer of colour and again blended with water.
Once the card was nice and dry. I covered it with my embossing buddy and laid out the stamps for embossing. Bristol smooth I went with clear embossing and Tim Holtz watercolour paper I went with Judikins sparkly iridescent embossing powder. I also took my Versa mark pen and added some doodles, filled in areas and embossed.
Now the fun of adding additional water and sopping up colour with some paper towel. It leaves a very cool effect because darker colour is trapped under embossing. So pretty.
Die cut with an egg shaped die. I happened to use the Lawn Fawn Outside In Easter Egg.
Get the Look:
Chose to use little masking for the basket and little boy in bunny costume. Then coloured them in. (For a more detailed look at masking check out post on masking for challenge #4)
Die cut the Kraft card stock with same egg die.
Heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of black card stock.
Now it is a matter of laying all the elements out on the card base.
Inlaid the egg flat and popped up the little bunny boy and sentiment with foam tape.
Get the Look:
Again little bit of masking for the paint brush and paint can. Also drew in a spill and outlined in black so it all was matchy, matchy. (For a more detailed look at masking check out post on masking for challenge #4)
Coloured with the same Tombow marker colours as the background, added some shimmer, glossy accents and cut it out.
With egg die, cut out 2 additional card stock eggs. One to back the embossed egg and second to make the card backer.
Finally adhered the die cut eggs together and glued the paint can on the bottom.
Bonus the paint can made an awesome base to stand the egg up.
