Lurking – Tutorial #468

Hey There,

Today’s tutorial below was created using one of my favorite technique combinations, emboss resist with a brayered background.   I could not resist using this Stampin’ Up! Wolf stamp from the set “In Wilderness” and have this beautiful creature peeking out of the brush.  

What do you think, peaceful or scary?  Anytime I use a wolf image there is mixed reactions.  I find it peaceful myself.

Die cut a 3″ circle out of Whisper White card stock using the Big Shot Machine and 3″ circle die.

Stamped the plant from the Stampin’ Up! set Just Believe by loading the stamp first with Versamark and then with Cajun Craze ink before stamping it on the circle.

Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamped the Wolf head by loading the stamp with Versamark and then with Basic Black ink before stamping it.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Colored the wolf with Sahara Sand Marker.

Colored over the entire wolf using a Versamark marker.  Heat embossed the image again using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Brayered Baja Breeze ink at the top of the card stock.

Any time you put ink onto your embossed images be sure to buff it off lightly to remove the ink from the embossed images so it doesn’t stain them.

Brayered Island Indigo ink at the very top of the card stock, not covering the Baja Breeze entirely.

Stamp the plant again using Baja Breeze to get some in the back ground.

Add the plant to the middle ground using Island Indigo ink.

Sponge Island Indigo at the bottom of the card stock.

Sponge Basic Black at the bottom of the card stock.

Cut a 5″ square of Baja Breeze card stock and stamp the plant around the edges using Cajun Craze ink.

Here are the measurements for the panels (2 Cajun Craze, 2 Baja Breeze and 1 Island Indigo).

Assembled the card front and added Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon and Silver Brads.

Punched the leaves out of Island Indigo card stock using the Large Bird Punch.  Cut the stem off of the leaves and put one in each corner.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ square.

May your day be filled with all the people you love!

Until my next post. . . . .
