I love making scenes with the emboss resist technique and I created this tutorial to show you the process. If your up for a challenge, give it a whorl! I would love to see your creations using this tutorial, please leave me a link to them in the comments section!
Supplies:
| Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms – Primitive Beginnings, Row of Trees, Ash Tree, Stampin Up Stitched Exotics |
| Paper: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Not Quite Navy |
| Ink: Stampin Up Certainly Celery, Garden Green, Cameo Corel, Old Olive, Basic Black, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, White Craft |
| Accessories: White Gel Pen, Versamark Marker and Pad, Black marker, Sponge, Post it Notes, Brayer, Clear Embossing Powder |
Note: When working a scene with the emboss resist technique you work from foreground to the background (front of scene to back of scene). This is so your images in front resist the ink of the images you want to look like are behind them.
I started out with Whisper White card stock and loaded my stamp with Versamark and then Certainly Celery and stamped it, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
I store my clear embossing powder in a plastic sandwich size container so I don’t have to mess with putting the embossing powder back into a tiny canister or cleaning an embossing powder tray.
Stamped the same stamp again only this time loading with Versamark and then Garden Green then stamping it, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Loaded tree stamp with versamark and Cameo Coral ink, then went over the trunk with a black marker, stamped, heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.
Loaded house stamp with Versamark and then black ink, stamped, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Used a Versamark marker and went over the entire house with it and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Tore the edge of two post it notes and positioned them to cover the sky area. You will put the torn edge where you want your horizon line to be.
Brayer Old Olive ink on. Don’t be shy, use a lot of ink and work it into the nooks and crannies of the embossed trees and bushes.
Remove Post it Notes and wipe the Old Olive ink off of the house with a paper towel.
Next brayer on Soft Sky ink. Brayer across the card stock, not up and down. Start at the very top of the card stock, with most of the brayer off of the cardstock and work the brayer back and forth moving down the card stock. Use a lot of ink and work it into the paper. I like to leave some white card stock showing above the horizon line so I don’t brayer all the way down to the horizon line. The more ink you put on the paper the better it blends and you won’t have those brayer lines.
Brayer on Blue Bayou ink in the same manner as the Soft Sky ink in the last step, only don’t brayer all the way down over your Soft Sky ink, leave some of it showing, we are creating a graduation in color.
Do the same process as the last two steps only using Not Quite Navy ink. Don’t brayer all the way over your Blue Bayou ink. Remember, lots of ink and work it in.
Sponge on Night of Navy ink around the edges of the card stock and work it into the bottom card stock in the bushes area and at the top of the card stock in the sky.
Use a White Gel pen to put in the walk way in front of the house.
Assemble card and stamp Stitched Exotics using Stampa-ma-jig and White Craft Ink.
Finished creation!
