A very popular technique

Everybody loves the wonderful technique Resist Embossing! Myself included, and I have been making af few cards lately with this wonderful technique.  I love the wow effect it gives when you start adding color to the embossed images!!

Today there is a new challenge up at Lily Pad Cards challenging you to use that particular technique.

Here is my inspirational card (see my last two blog posts for more)... I chose to stamp & emboss the circles then color in with distress inks and punch out for this cluster type of card...

Some of the circles are adhered directly onto the background - others are pop dotted with some foam adhesive for a bit of dimension. I used Studio Calico/Hero Arts stamps for this card and was inspired by the Studio Calico style for my design here...

Stamps: Hero Arts Studio Calico / ST510, ST508

Papers: Bazzill kraft, Hero Arts layering paper Eggshell

Inks: Ranger distress

Resist embossed circles. The stitching is done with a built-in feature on my sewing machine...

Please do not forget to go to the Lily Pad Cards site to check out the rest of the inspirational cards (you are in for a treat !) and the details (any kind of resist goes).
Also there is a great list of tutorial links for this technique - if you haven't tried it before.

I hope you feel inspired to play along - I am sure you can't resist :-) !

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!
