Lawn Fawnatics Challenge # 18 - Emboss Resist (waving Hello)

Happy Wednesday! Hope you are all doing well. I'm back today with a second project as a Guest Designer on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog. The current challenge is Emboss Resist. 


My first card was Holiday themed - you can see that here and here in my last blog post.  I decided to get summery with this card and created a water colored background to highlight my embossing and the adorable mermaid from Lawn Fawn's Mermaid for You Stamp Set.
I embossed the fish and "bubbles" with Hero Arts white embossing powder and once that was heat set, I water colored the background with several distress inks. I love how the water coloring pooled in the fish and the bubbles giving them a darker shade. Here's a close up of my card. 
I have had so much fun as a Guest Designer for this challenge and I hope you have been inspired to give the technique a try! You'll love the results! Please stop by the Lawn Fawnatics Blog to see more ideas using Emboss Resist.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!

Guest Designer for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge # 18 - Emboss Resist

Hello and Welcome December!! 
I'm honored to be Guest Designing this month for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog. I created two cards for Challenge #18 - Emboss Resist.

I love this technique - it's an easy way to add detail to a project. Here's my first card using a combination of Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
I stamped snowflakes onto my blank card base using white embossing powder and once it was heat set I blended some Lawn Fawn inks over the background. The embossed snowflakes resist the inks and stand out on the inked background. 
Be sure to stop by the Lawn Fawnatics blog and check out all the Design Team projects for more ideas using the Emboss Resist technique.
I will be back December 13th to share my second card for this challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great week.
