Perfect Sentiments Challenge 14: Birthday Resist Embossing

Happy Wednesday Scrappers & Crafters...you know that this means..yup another weekly challenge from The Perfect Sentiment Challenge Blog.

I have to tell you this weeks challenge is a great one and I was really excited to make my card. In addition to creating a birthday card the twist is that you need to use resist embossing. Now for those of you who don't know what that is or how to do it...you can easily find tutorials on You Tube. I had planned on making one of my own for this posting but ran out of time this weekend...but watch out for some upcoming tutorial videos I am working on : )

Here is my take on this weeks challenge.........

This is the first time I have used resist embossing on a card..I normally do this on my LO's but I love how it turned out.

I used the Fiskars Elegant Vine stamp & some Perfect Medium by Ranger. After stamping the image sprinkled some clear embossing powder over the stamped image then used my heat tool. After the image cooled down I inked the image with some Tim Holtz Distress Inks...distressed the edges and voila!! 

I followed the same steps as above for the butterfly from Studio 112 but this time added some Honeydew twine from The Twinery. I really like how this turned out...such a great technique and looks so cool when you see it in person. The images really pop when you use white card stock as well.

For my stamped sentiment I used a wooden stamp given to me by my MIL...I can't give props to the company as there isn't a name to be found anywhere on it. I ran some vintage pink trim along the bottom edge of the card to sort of soften it up a bit.

I stamped the same butterfly from the front on the inside to carry the theme throughout the card....LOVE this stamp...which I found in the clearance bin at JoAnn's I might add : )

After adding more of the pink trim & Honeydew twine I distressed the edges and used a Tim Holtz staple. 

Now for some inspiration from my amazing & creative Design Team members....

Using the resist embossing technique is such a fun and creative way to jazz up your cards, LO's or any other type of scrappy project you may be working on. You can even use this technique on patterned paper or paper with text on it...just imagine how cool it would look to see those images on your final project. 


I want to take a moment and thank all of you for the kind words & comments you have left me...they really do mean a lot to me and I appreciate each and every one of them.
