Sally CT - Pastels and Emboss Resist

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you some emboss resist for some more pastel inspiration for this month's challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group. 

I began by stamping a 4" square of white card with the freehand borders using Versamark ink. I sprinkled with Clear embossing powder and heated. 

Next I used various patel shades of distress oxide inks to blend over the embossing. 

Once I was happy with the colours, I gave a light spritz with water and also with Distress Spritz in Fossilized Amber.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the sketchy flower in Sand Dune ink and coloured using pastel coloured pencils. 

On another scrap of white card, I stamped the sentiment using lilac bloom ink and trimmed it to size.

Using 3d foam pads, I attached the background, the flower and the sentiment to the front of the 5x5" card.

Finally, here is a close up of the sparkly background showing the shimmer.
