Wednesday’s Card: Emboss Resist Florets

LoadingFavoriteAdd to favorites

Emboss Resist

Emboss Resist

Hi All!

Today I used some emboss resist on top of a flower that is not solid. So, in order to get covereage of my Versamark ink for the embossing, I used a Versamarker. It worked great, which kind of surprised me a little, lol! I’ve used this marker before and didn’t like it – years ago! Maybe I was doing it wrong before, I don’t know. Oh, well.

I used my favorite 90 lb watercolor paper. It’s the perfect thickness. I mention this in the video, but for those of you having trouble with getting those rectangle marks from your ink applicator, use watercolor paper – it works like a charm – no marks.

Anyway, hope you’re having a great summer. Enjoy the video!

      Yes. Unless I specify otherwise, all my cards are that size. Just makes it easier!

    Hi Darlene! I love…love love.. It! I don’t know how you use that blending tool so well, I have tried and tried and I get all sorts of stuff wrong, the square lines, big splotches of ink in spots!! I have gone back and watched a ton of your videos where you’ve done that technique and I just can’t seem to get it right! I just love your cards! Looks like I have another Stpin Up stamp set on my must have list! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and creations! Do you have an Instagram account?

      Thank you Shaughn! No, I haven’t gotten on Instagram yet. My tween daughter had it for awhile and it was a disaster, so I’m trying to stay away!!

    Darlene, I want to order one of the Stampamagis (sp). Did you get it from the Stampin Up catalog and if so, where about is it located? Browsed thru the online catalog, but didn’t find it. Help!! Thank you.

    Love, Love this card, you do such an amazing job water coloring this flowers, which is my absolute favorite way to add color to my images, this stamp set, Fabulous Flourettes is one of my favorite SU sets, (I can’t remember at the moment if they discontinued it or not). What I haven’t tried yet is the Versa marker, I have the pads and re-inkers but not the marker, I think it’s a wonderful tool, just in case you don’t get even coverage on your images with the pad. Thank you so much for another wonderful video. It must be in the SU catalog, I’ve never seen it there so I’m going to look for it.
    Have a wonderful rest of the week.
    Maria.

      Actually Maria, SU doesn’t carry the Versamarker anymore! I think that’s a new development with this year’s catalog. I have a link to Ellen Hutson in the supplies section.

    I look forward to Wed. and the talent you share. Have you tried this technique using Inktense pencils instead of the distress pens?

    • wrote on July 26th, 2013 at 10:23 pm

      Darlene DeVries

      Kendra, I have used Inktense with water on a few cards, such as THIS ONE and THIS ONE. However, I did not cover them with Versamarker. It should work the same way though.

    Wonderful video and card! I like the format of no upper or lower margins on the finished card…an entirely different overall look. TFS
