Yesterday’s Technique lover challenge Totally IrResistable asked to combine Versamark Resist with Embossing Resist. I hadn’t done any resist cards in a long time.
After doing all my Monday chores (cleaning all bed spreads, dusting, vaccuming, moping, bathrooms…)I got to play. I asked Jenn what I should use and she told me Season of Joy and gave me this color combo: Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Chocolate Chip. I asked if I could add Wild Wasabi and the basics for the card were settled.
The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Rose Red cardstock, folded in half and sponged around the edges. Next is a 5″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock, sponged around the edges and stamped with the swirl and the tiny flower from Season of Joy.
Next is a 2 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Apple Cider paper with a small strip of white cardstock added.
For the main image I cut a piece of glossy cardstock 2 5/8″ x 3″ and stamped the Christmas tree with Versamark in the middle of the cardstock. I embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next I stamped the big word background from the same set in Versamark over the tree. I dried it with my heat gun.
Then I brayered Turquoise over the entire piece of cardstock. I rubbed a paper towel over the image, to take off the extra ink. I added the dotted border with Chocolate Chip ink and All in a Row (You know I have to use it, right?) I layered the cardstock on a sponged piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock and piece of sponged Rose Red cardstock.
For the accent I stamped the Poinsetta from Season of Joy in Rose Red and the small flower in Chocolate Chip on Shimmery White cardstock and cut both out. I layered them over a swirl stamped and sponged piece of 1 1/4″ circle of Wild Wasabi and a 1 3/8″ sponged Rose Red circle. I topped the flower off with a small turquoise circle jewel brad from the Ice collection.
It still looked too bare and I needed to add a little zing to it. I punched out small Rose Red flowers with the Three for you Punch and sponged the edges in the same color. The flowers were taped to the right side of the main image and silver brads were added.
I heated the image again, poured Dazzling Diamond glitter over it and heated it again. I outline my Poinsetta with my Sakura glue pen and added glitter to that as well.
Last I added a sponged Photo corner with three silver brads.
Although I would have never added Turquoise to the mix, I like the combo now.
