WT454 ~ Em, Boss, To Resist is Not Futile {11/21/2013}

[Cook22]

It's Sabrina here this week to wish you a Happy Thursday!!

We're talking about various takes on embossing resist today - from the most basic through all the different takes on it. While there are many other resist techniques (and I loved seeing the masking fluid resist cards from my recent "Masked Fun" challenge, we're sticking with the embossing-related resist techniques this week.
I've listed some tutorials from the Resources section below:


Basic Embossing Resist

Watercolour Embossing Resist

Emerging Colour

Mulberry Batik ~ Burned Batik similar techniques, just on different card bases

Puzzle Piece Resist

Joseph's Coat

Magic Snowflake


If you have another technique that combines heat embossing and resist, please feel free to use that and share your technique with us.

I tried the Magic Snowflake with alcohol inks because I didn't see why it wouldn't work with those instead of regular reinkers (given that rubbing alcohol is used in the polished stone part of the process). For me, at least, it didn't work...

I also had a go at Joseph's Coat. Apparently some time in the last 2 days I put white and clear EP in the same jar. So what I got was an odd mix that was part regular embossing resist and part Joseph's Coat. So no sample of that one!!

I used a homemade embossing buddy to reduce the static on my card- corn starch in a sandwich baggie, with little holes poked in it, then sewn into a decorative bag. It worked so well! As for my card: I used SU's Great Groupings for my snowmen, and Big on Christmas for my sentiment. Added some ornaments for fun, and sponged my card. Did some hand coloring on the snowmen. Here's Noel, Noel.

This was a learning experience for me and I have to say I enjoyed it! Participating in challenges sure does broaden your horizons and take you out of your comfort (boring) zone. Here's MY WORLD

[Precious Kitty]

My picture came out yellowish - lighting is not good here. Cloudy and raining. Sabrina, I hope this works for this challenge.

WT454: Silver Maple

I silver embossed the maple leaf, and then took alcohol cotton and dipped it in stamping ink, swiped on the Bamboo Leaves color, then did the same thing with Potter's clay. Afterwards I stamped the sentiment on the card. Hope this qualifies for what we were suppose to do today.

Speaking of resistance-- The cat-who-doesn't-care would not budge from my photo corner in a sunny windowsill. If you look closely to the right of the card, you can see is hairy back. Here's the rest of him, including the pulled back "Don't disturb me!" ears:

[yellowrose46]

I have made two cards with the emboss resist technique. I used the magic snowflake technique and because it didn't work like it was supposed to, I ended up with two design panels. the second one is strictly speaking not really emboss resist, but it is a result of it!
