Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Emboss Resist

Saturday, 7 January 2023

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is "Emboss Resist". I love this technique and have used it to create this beautiful card featuring the "Watercolor World" Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue.

I love this background stamp - it's perfect for cards or for scrapbook pages. I created this card on a recent Sketch Challenge. You can join me on Tuesday nights at 6:30pm Pacific for the challenge. Here's the sketch I used for this card.

Now for my card. I think this is a perfect card for anyone, but it definitely has a masculine feel to it. I used the Sending Smiles Bundle for the sentiment. I love how it turned out! I did cheat a little and added an extra layer - Shimmery White 3 3/4" x 5".
