TLC131 - Totally IrRESISTable (Aug 27, 2007)

[showmestamper]

This week is a repeat of TLC57 - combining Versamark Resist with Emboss Resist.

For your inspiration:

One of mine
and another one of mine
TLC57 Gallery

The how-to's:
Basic directions for the two techniques:
Emboss resist: stamp with versamark on glossy paper. emboss with clear embossing powder. When you apply the ink with a sponge or brayer, the embossed images with resist the ink. You might have to use a tissue to sop up any extra ink that remains on the images.

versamark resist: stamp with versamark on glossy paper. using a sponge or brayer, apply ink to the paper. the versamarked images will resist the ink and leave a faint image. This technique has also been called 'ghosting'.

To combine the two technqiues:
Stamp the images you want to clear emboss and emboss. Don't smear on the ink yet. Stamp the images you want to be 'softer' in versamark. Then smear/brayer on the inks.

And, you MUST do the clear embossed images FIRST. If you try to do the other images first (the ones for versamark resist), when you sprinkle on the EP for the emboss resist images, your EP will stick to ALL the images.

Please use keyword TLC131 when you upload.

Have fun!

Sounds like fun!!

[nmslmomto3]

wow, how cool I checked! I have to commit myself to doing each card challenge from now until after December. My oldest daughter (1 just enlisted in the Navy and has a ship date of December 17, so I have to send her at least one card or more a day while she is in bootcamp. Anyone want to hold me accountable to this? LOL

Here is mine. My stamp was dirty when I stamped it in the versa mark so it came out a little different.
