Another week and time for a new technique. This week's Make It Monday #243 Ink Blending Over Heat Embossing is hosted by Danielle Flanders. Danielle shows us how to emboss something and rub ink over it for an emboss resist look.
I started with a piece of white cardstock and stamped the happy birthday swirl in Versamark ink, sprinkled it with white embossing powder and heat set it. I used Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal and Limeade Ice inks to get the blended look. I used a stitched circle to cut it out, placed it on foam tape and adhered it to a piece of Fresh Snow Linen cardstock.
I stamped a few stars in Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal and Limeade Ice inks. The balloon is die-cut in Limeade Ice cardstock and stamped in coordinating ink. The balloon is also on foam tape for dimension. The balloon string is die-cut in white cardstock. The entire panel is adhered to a Tropical Teal cardstock card base.
