A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Embossing Folder Resist Background

I did another card using the Debossed Inky Resist technique (see this
Video:  Debossed Inky Resist (Anna-Karin Evaldsson via SplitcoastStampers for full details).


Following the instructions in the video, I lightly rubbed Versamark over one side of the embossing folder.  Then placed watercolour paper inside the embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  I sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set.  The Versamark and embossing powder created a resist for the next step of smooshing with Distress inks.  I used Tattered Rose, Antique Linen, and Bundled Sage, tapped onto my craft mat and spritzed with water.  I then smooshed the embossed panel into it until I was happy with the results.  
 
Then die cut leaves and flowers out of off-white cs, put it all together with some twine around the stems, and used an off-white card base.
 
I'm sneaking it in under the wire for the Can You Handle the Pressure? challenge to use an embossing folder.

  1. This is very pretty using white embossing as a resist using an embossing folder and then run through a machine, and the added smooshed colour looks great Susan also the flowers and leaves die cut from white card stand out beautifully over the top and love the added twine. x
