Ready for some Emboss Resist, Resist? Let’s get started on today’s Tutorial. 
Supplies:
| Stamps: Innovative Stamp Creations “About Me” & “Flowers & Elements” |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Soft Sky & Basic Black |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up More Mustard, Barely Banana, Going Gray, Basic Black, Baroque Burgundy & Really Rust |
| Accessories: Prismacolor Marker Sky Blue Light, Ribbon, Brads, Photo Corner Punch, Aqua Painter, Versamark marker, Going Gray marker, Faber Castell Yellow & Black markers, Sponges |
Stamped Butterfly with Palette Noir Black ink on a 3.75″ x 5.25″ of Whisper White card stock.
Colored in the image with a Prismacolor Sky Blue Light marker.
Darkened the middle of the image with a Faber Castell Black marker.
Colored over the entire image with a Versamark marker, by coloring the light parts first and then going to the dark parts.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Over Stamped butterfly image with the Flower image using Craft Going Gray ink.
Note: if you don’t have craft ink you can load your stamp first with Versamark then your Classic ink before stamping. The Versamark will let your embossing powder stick to your image.
Heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored in the flower using an Aqua Painter and Barely Banana ink.
Note: While your ink pad is closed you can squeeze the lid down on the pad to create a little pool of ink on the lid in which to water color with.
Added some Going Gray ink to the top half of the flower.
Colored the entire flower with Versamark marker.
Heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Used the Barely Banana ink pad directly on the card stock, covering all of the it.
Sponged More Mustard ink on ramdomly, but leaving the lower left corner light.
Sponged on Really Rust ink.
Sponged on some Baroque Burgundy ink.
Sponged a little black ink to get really dark under the butterfly and at the top of the card stock.
Added a Going Gray marker shadow at the bottom of the flower.
Traced fine line around the bottom of the flower and butterfly to create some depth.
Added some Faber Castell Yellow marker on top of the embossed flower to punch up the color a bit.
Heated the embossing powder on the flower to melt the marker in a bit.
Assembled card and added ribbon, brads and punched photo corners.
Here the card is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
Thanks for checking out the tutorial today. Why don’t you give emboss resist, resist a try?
May your day be filled with dreamy sweet smelling flowers and butterflies.
Until my next post. . . . . . .

Beautiful, Michelle. I so like all your tutorials. I think I will try this one today as I sit at my stamp desk and look into my flower garden. Thank you, for all the great arts of work and showing us how you do it! I love the fact that you use ink and more ink and not papers to make your lovely cards! hugs~~ Jesse aka Inkyhive

Eileen
Such a gorgeous piece of art! I just love your work! Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful gift! Would LOVE it! (if I win, will you sign it?)

Very neat! ours is the first blog I go to for inspiration each day! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent…and artwork. Loved the gourd, too. Be blessed! Esther
I like this one, i had it almost figured out how you did this one before I read your tutorial. I missed a couple of steps, but you do a wonderful job on your cards and I can not get enough of your easy explanations. Thank you.
Michelle, At first glance, I though this was a photo……..breath taking!!!
May I ask, were do you get such unusual size envelopes to fit your cards? I like the variety of sizes you use but not sure were to obtain envelopes. Thank you once again for an other masterpiece.
Wow what a beautiful card! and awesome blog candy.. I hope I win.
Thanks for the step by step,your instructions are so easy to follow maybe I should quit procrstinating and just jump in and stamp something.
Anne S
amazing card, it’s almost on fire. I love all the colours you’ve used and would love to have one of your cards. Thanks for the tutorials.
Hello Michelle
My bestest friend Tonnice whom I call the Card Diva, well I have to admit you just might take the tittle away from her LOL..
Your cards are brillliant really fabulous.. The background effest is stunning.
I hope Tonnice can lear how to do this, I hear it is trial and error.
Really thanks for your inspiration in all you do.
I crown you Card Diva extroidinair. Have a great day..
Beautiful card Michelle. I love the colors.
I need more practice with the brayer so I am glad you used sponges on this card.
Carol asked “May I ask, were do you get such unusual size envelopes to fit your cards?”
Carol, I purchase my envelopes from :
http://www.clearenvelopes.com
I can only dream of making cards like you do! What an honor it would be to own one of the cards you made. Thanks for this opportunity.
The graduation of colours and the shadowing really make this butterfly and flower pop. Beautiful work. I must try to make this one today with the stamps I have here. I have tried the resist resist technique before and it’s is very cool how the embossing just melts into itself from each image. Thanks so much for the knowledge to do this kind of work. You almost make me look like I know what I’m doing!*LOL*
Trish

A Zindorf card is pretty much the best BC ever!!!!
Thanks for the chance – it’s lovely!! I would frame it if I won!
Sometime, could you talk about the difference between Prismacolor and Copic markers and why you chose yours?
Or, if I’m a ding dong and missed it could you point me towards a post explaining it?
Really, really pretty. Who wouldn’t want to win this card?!
I am tickled pink with this tutorial. You make it look so easy.
The colors are amazing together. Absolutely stunning.
I enjoy your work so much and have for quite a while. You are so talented! I also appreciate that you show us how to do your ‘magic’. Thanks! Cathy
Stunning card, Michelle! The colors in all your cards show your artistic talent. You always seem to know the “right” colors as backgrounds, as accents, and as the total look. Your tutorials are real teaching tools for all of us. Thanks for taking the time to do such gorgeous cards and sharing it with the world. Would love to win your card.

Once again outstanding work! Your selection of colors are vibrant. I guess if you can’t be in the garden, bring the garden to the stamping table!
Butterflies and turtles are my thing. I also love the gecko on the commercial on tv. Wish there was a stamp of him. I love your style.
Lovely! I know someone who would melt if they got this card!!
That card is beyond WOW! It is just so beautiful. By all means enter me to win the blog candy! Thank you so much!

I love this card. The soft sky as the background color really looks great.
Wow! I love butterflies and this creation feels like it’s going to fly right off the page. Beautiful!
Michelle, I so look forward to your updates – every card is beautiful — I want to be like you when I ‘grow up’.
Gorgeous, as usual, Michelle. Boy, I’d love this card! Thanks for the opportunity to play!
Beautiful…..as always!
Another beautiful card. I’m curious to know how long, on average, it takes you to create one of these masterpieces?
Another beutiful peice of art. I hope I win th Blog Candy
These just get better everyday! Thanks for the tutorials! Love them!
The depth in this is so good that I thought you had cut out the flower and butterfly and attached them to the background. Your work is always fantastic.
Your creations are superb! Thanks for the tutorials. Love it!
This is beautiful Michelle!! Thanks for the opportunity to win this, your work is in a class by itself…
Another WOW tutorial Michelle. What you can do with a stamp, some markers and ink is totally amazing. You should be putting out a book on your work. I particularily love this one. I think it’s the “fire” behind the butterfly (that’s what it reminds me of) that makes it so amazing. Marvelous and amazing work…

Only discovered and subscibed to this blog in the last week and so glad I did.Stunning card and easy to follow tutorial. I’m definitely going to try this.
I do have a question – when sponging on the inks, how do you get so close to the images without sponging all over them too?
Hi Michelle,
I just found your blog yesterday and was up until 4:30 this morning looking at everything. Girl, you are absolutely fantabulous! Your work is stunning and I wish my pinkie was filled with your talent! God has truely blessed you with talent. Thank you for sharing with us.
I still can’t get over the depth you develop in your work. EVERYTHING looks as though it has layers upon layers upon layers — and you do it all with ink. Dang, you’re good. Keep it up!
I would love to win one of your pieces of art! I can only imagine how awesome your art is IRL!! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful creation! And thanks again for your awesome tutorials!!
Michelle,
With each post you blog I learn something new, from technique, to colors, to combinations. Your techniques and colors become three dimensional to the eye. I savor each blog entry you create and show. Hopefully, I’m learning…I sure am enjoying! This card is wonderful!
Beautiful card. So much talent you have.
Thank you for sharing and giving others opportunity to enjoy your work.

How beautiful! I’d love to own a real Zindorf- thanks for the chance!
so pretty, it would be so neat to see one of your creations in person!
We have just lost a hiking friend to cancer. I am trying to create a card for his wife. I think this would be a good idea. We all love hiking in the mountains and right now there are many flowers and butterflies. Thank you for your timing with a gentle image like this. This is the sentiment that my husband chose to go with this card.

Greetings from St. Louis MO! I am a new subscriber and huge fan! Your work is absolutely gorgeous and your tutorials are inspirational in that you make it all seem so easy! I want to leave work now to go home and try this for myself! Thanks for all you do for your fellow stampers!
I just love the use of shading and the deep rich colors. You always have something I love.
Fantastic card! And off to look at these stamps. Think I need them in my collection! Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!
Michelle what a beautiful card! I am relatively new to your site and I am loving everything I see. You are fantastically gifted in your artwork. I can only dream of being able to translate what I see to paper! Keep tutoring and maybe before I leave this world, I might do something beautiful…LOL! Enjoying this tremendously!
Beth in Des Moines
Once again it is so pretty and amazing how you make little details work so well. Thanks for sharing.
Michelle, it would be an honor to win and frame one of your cards. I do appreciate the very detailed tutorials in your blog. Thank-you very much. Here is hoping… Robbin
This is another great lesson. You are always so inspirational!
Wow, what a striking card! It’s gorgeous!!! Love the images and the colors! Lucky the lady who wins this eye candy!!!
Michelle, I love your tutorials!! You are such a talented lady and I feel that I have learned so much from you. I would love to be the lucky person that wins this fantastic card!!
Michelle – a beautiful card and great tutorial. The flower has so much dimension I truly thought you cut it out and attached it as a separate layer!
I tried one emboss/resist card and I was hooked. You have inspired me with endless ideas. I created a b’day card for my brother that was sort of a combination of your Wanted Pony, Back to the Beach, and Botanical Dreams. It is fantastic. With each emboss/resist/brayered card that I make, my technique improves and I learn something new.
Thanks again for being such a great inspiration and awesome teacher. I only wish I could take one of your classes in person!

Truly amazing – another brilliant piece of art.
Your cards are superb and the tutorials are so easy to follow.
I’m so glad I found you.
Many thanks
Michelle, I would love to win your card! You are my stamping hero! I will go try and make this card today, just love it!
Oh Michelle! You’ve taken my breath away *again*! I just love butterflies and have enough butterfly stamps to shake an acrylic block at! Hehe! HOWEVER. . . . I’ve LOVE to have this card!
I did have one question for you, perhaps I missed it or it is just a forgone conclusion, but did you wipe off the craft ink on the butterfly before you embossed to avoid contamination of the butterfly? It seems like it would need to be done very carefully to avoid wiping onto the c/s.
Also, what drew you to use these colors for this card? My tendency is to go with a blue background to mimic the sky, but using the reds on this gives it such warmth.
Wow, this butterfly looks so real! It looks like it just landed on the page! beautiful card as usual!
Love this card and all your techniques. You are so generous in sharing. Would love to win.

This is the prettiest card as are all your creations. I’m partial to anything with butterflies and flowers, so I particularly love this card. I love your techniques; although, I’m still trying to make my attempts look as beautiful as yours. Maybe eventually. Your cards are like works of art. Would love to get a card you made!
Peggy
