Good morning! It's Saturday and this week's OCC challenge is to use the Emboss Resist Technique on your card or project. A little scary for me because I tend to shy away from techniques, but it ended up being a lot of fun! I actually really love how my card turned out! You can find all of the rockin' samples from the OCC team plus all of the challenge details on the OCC Blog. There is no time limit on the challenge so feel free to participate when you can. If you do participate don't forget to leave a link to your blog or gallery on the OCC blog so we can check out your sample! If you upload to SCS, remember to use the keyword: OCCC
I used this technique on the red panel with the hearts. Here's what I did: I stamped the heart (from a SU! set called Big Bold Birthday) in Versamark on PTI White, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and then sponged Riding Hood Red ink all over the panel. When I got to the desired shade of red I was looking for I simply wiped over the hearts with a paper towel and the red ink wiped away! Cool, I tell ya!! LOL!
The layout is from Mercy Kerin's Tuesday sketch challenge, MTSC26. I LOVE Mercy's sketches because they always have a bunch of layers....but I digress! I used the Stampin' Up! set, A Happy Heart. This is another set that I've had for about two months and this is the first time it has seen ink....sigh....
I inked up the main image with Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss ink. It was cut out with Curved Rectangle Nestabilities and before I removed it from the die I sponged Pink Pirouette ink around the edges. I love how it keeps the rim white. Looks like a layer with actually layering it!! The large PP panel was embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. All the piercing was done with a mat pack and piercing tool and the distressing was done with the SU! Cutter Kit. The button is from Stampin' Up! and the velvet brads were a find at my LSS.
I hope you have a great Saturday and I appreciate you stopping by!!
