I’m so happy you’re joining me today for the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES BLOG HOP – we are featuring the EMBOSS RESIST technique – one of my favorites! You’ll find a video tutorial here:
Emboss Resist is one of my favorite techniques! I thought it would be fun to combine it with a watercolor wash and this is what I came up with! I used the Nature’s Sweetness Suite – new in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog – this suite is amazing! I love making collage designs and it’s a little bit shabby chic!!!

The background combined with a sentiment strip and few elements from the dies and you have a fabulous card!

Dimensions:
- Basic White Thick — 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″
- Misty Moonlight — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ & 3/4″ strip
- Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper — 3 3/4″ x 5″ & 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
- Scraps — Pecan Pie, Boho Blue, Basic White, Misty Moonlight

Below is the Color Coach swatch for Pebbled Path – this is where I came up with the color combo. You’ll find the entire COLOR COACH for all our Stampin’ Up! colors HERE. It’s so helpful when I’m designing cards.

Here is the other color combo I played with. Not sure about this one – but the card is pretty!


I hope you’ll give this a try – it’s so fun to use the Emboss Resist with a color wash!
