My grand daughter was visiting this week and we spend some time in the craft room. She was working on her own projects so I got started on a technique that I have been wanting to revisit - white embossing resist!! I discovered some small sheets of watercolour paper in my stash a while back and thought they would work very well for this technique which I have been seeing on Splitcoast Stampers lately. I started with a couple of small clear stamps that have not seen much, if any use. I stamped them with Versamark on the small sheets of watercolour paper and embossed them with white embossing powder. I added a greeting (SU) under the floral swirl and embossed it as well. I used regular palette watercolours on the left hand one by simply applying several colours with a very wet paintbrush until I was happy with the look of it. For the second one, I used distress inks applied to a craft sheet, spritzed with water and laid the paper in the puddle. I kept dipping until I was happy with the look!! Once dry, I trimmed the sheets neatly and stitched them to coordinating layers (4" x 5.25") using my sewing machine. Next I layered them onto coordinating card fronts. I finished off the left hand one with star punchies which I painted with pearly acrylic paint and I used colourful sequins on the other one. Very happy with how these turned out and I will be using them for my exchange cards for my partners this month. Therese
