Emboss resist with Woodcut floral....!!

Hey everyone

I'm up on the blog today at "Miss Ink stamps" and I have created a Christmas card using a fun emboss resist technique by using some WOW! embossing powder and watercolour inks... 

To start the card I grabbed a piece of Ken Oliver watercolour cardstock and cut it to my desired size. I went over it with an anti static pad and then using WOW! embossing ink I stamped the Woodcut floral background stamp and on another piece of card three of the flowers. I then covered over the stamped image with Opaque bright white embossing powder, tipped off the excess and heat embossed. 

Onto the next step colouring the embossed pieces... for this I spritzed the paper with water and then added on drops of Watermelon and Frida Jane Davenport watercolour ink, spirited with more water (dabbed off with a paper towel) and then kept repeating until I had my desired amount of colour. 

Using a peace die from MFT I die cut that from a piece of card covered in double sided adhesive and then covered in Your carriage awaits sparkles...

I layered on the flowers and finished off the card with a touch of sequins!! 

I hope you like my new card and feel inspired to try this technique...
Hugs Ashlee.
