I explored a new (well, to me) technique today called Emerging Color/Emboss Resist. The Medallion stamp is just perfect for this technique, and I had to try it out after seeing Mary Brown's gorgeous card with it. I used the colors for this week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge: Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, and Basic Black.
How pretty is that? First I inked up my Medallion stamp using VersaMark, then stamped on a sheet from the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper pad, embossing with clear powder. I then rolled Melon Mambo ink with my brayer over the sheet until it was as dark as I wanted it. Next, I wiped the Medallion with towel - when you do this, the DSP just "emerges", and you can see the Pretty in Pink patterned paper through the embossed Medallion. The card was finished off with a sentiment from the Whimsical Words stamp set, and a heart punched with the Small Heart punch.
I just love this technique. I already have some more ideas for it!
Thanks for visiting!
