We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop – Sharing a Technique

 

Welcome to the We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop!!!

I’m excited to come to you the 1st of each month with some fun projects highlighting a variety of topics, techniques, and Stampin’ Up! Specials!

For this month we are each Sharing a Technique!  I have selected a bit of embossing, using the Emboss Resist Technique, or you can even call it the Joseph’s Coat Technique.

For mine, I started out with some fall colors that I sponged onto White card stock with sponge daubers. Using more ink is better here, you want bright dark colors.

Next I stamped the tree over the colors. Then I stamped the leaves in Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.

Tip – I think next time I would emboss the leaves first, then stamp the tree.

Then I sponged Night of Navy all over the leaves, and a few lighter blues towards the bottom.

The darker you make the blue, the more the colors pop from the background.

Here it is completed with the layers in coordinating colors:

I love how this turned out.  I used the Soft Suede Blends Marker to fill in some of the branches between the leaves after I sponged the Navy, to make them show up a bit better.
For the sentiment, I heat embossed the Hello in white on Cherry Cobbler and cut around it. The Holiday Rhinestones and Copper Trim give it some additional sparkle.

I hope you like this and it inspires you to get out your fun colors and start embossing!
