I have another emboss resist card for you this week.  I know this is a bit Fallish, but I love the colors.    Hope you do too.

I really have no time to chat today.  I’m packing for my trip to Ottumwa, Iowa tomorrow.   So let’s get right to the tutorial.

Loaded my Inspired by Nature Stamp with Versamark and then loaded it with Old Olive ink before stamping it on a 4.5″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.  You can use Stampin’ Up Craft Old Olive ink and not use the Versamark for this step.  

Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamped the Autumn Splendor leaf by loading my stamp first with Versamark and then with Cajun Craze before stamping it.  Reloaded for the second image.   Heat embossed both images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Colored the leaves in with a More Mustard marker.

Patted the excess ink off of the embossed images using a paper towel.  (Don’t rub)

Colored over the leaves using a Versamark marker and heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink at an angle.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at an angle, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.

Sponged a bit of Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock.  The black ink will stain your embossed images.

Buffed my embossed images off using a paper towel.

Added 2 Cajun Craze panels, 1 Whisper White panel and 1 Tempting Turquoise panel.  Also added 2 Cajune Craze Modern Label punches that have one end cut off. 

Using the mat pack and piercing tool, added 4 holes in each label punch.

Added 2 buttons that have linen thread tied through them.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.75″ square.  This is no little card folks!

May be be able to roll around in the grass today!  Remember doing that as a kid?

Until my next post. . . . .  . .
