Crafty zoom - Debossing Inky Resist

Hi everyone, it's time for our Monthly Zoom post with the Group of Seven Crafters.

This month Julia found a technique which heat embosses white embossing powder on the debossed side of the embossing folder which creates an ink resist - Video:  Debossed Inky Resist (Anna-Karin Evaldsson via SplitcoastStampers)

 I did mine as a deboss and an embossed image and also used spray inks rather than ink pads. I wanted the deeper colour and to be able to add the colour quicker.

My first card is the Debossed side of the folder, you can see all the white embossed area and and the ink picked up of the trees. 

This card is the emboss side of the folder.

Finishing up a few more Christmas Cards

I'm sure we are all making and posting at the moment and the cards get simpler and simpler the closer we get to Christmas.  

I use a Magazine freebie for the star wreath and the sentiment. The stars were heat embossed in white, and then the background was blended with distress oxides inks and a little water splattered over the surface.  I die cute the centre of the wreath and stamped the sentiment. Super simple.

I trimmed a thin strip of black as my border.

Here's my card, I used hot press watercolour paper and a Winnie and Walter background stamp with clear embossing powder, Distress inks and an emboss resist technique.  I die cut the frame in black and again from the watercolour background and inlaid the background into the black frame.  The Die cut is from Your next die, I love this frame, it's so versatile.  The bird die is from Penny black and the birthday sentiment  is from Paper Smooches
