WT671 = Let's Resist! - any kind of resist techniqe - I used emboss resist.
I made this card after accidentally making a first one using clear embossing powder. I wanted to repeat the image and technique with white embossing powder for a comparison.
I changed up the colours a bit so as not to be boring and also used a whiter watercolour paper for this one.
I stamped both the holly image and the small random dots from the SU Itty Bitty Background set in white, and embossed with white embossing powder. I like the more distinct image I got this time. See here for the version using clear embossing powder.
I flooded the whole panel with water and dropped a pale blue over the background, then went in with some mid-blue. I then took a fine pointed paintbrush and added a blue-green to all the holly leaves and red to the berries.
I mounted it on fun foam, framed with a pierced frame die, and a small sentiment. I left the Stickles off the berries on this one as I liked the way the red paint came out.
