It's time for a new Color Challenge! Barbara is hosting this week and she has chosen the lovely combination of Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach and Old Olive, with a dessert option of using a die or punched element on your card. I'm also joining the current Ways to Use It challenge at SCS, where we are to use white ink on our card.
Finally, I'm linking up to the Anything Goes challenge at the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
So I recently saw Jennifer McGuire create multiple cards with a technique she calls Trapped Emboss Resist (link to blog post here. To create my card with this technique, I ink blended on Bristol paper Distress Inks in coral and peach, embossed a background stamp with clear embossing powder, then ink blended white pigment ink over the top, buffing with a clean cloth off the embossed areas. This mutes the original ink blending except where the brighter colors are trapped under the embossing. Fun and easy to do, and I think qualifies for the current Ways to Use It "White Out" challenge.
I die cut and layered a stitched frame then wrapped with washi tape that primarily has coral, peach and olive colors. Adhered over blended panel, added to Old Olive card base, adhered the sentiment and finished with iridescent jewels. More details and pics at my blog.
Thanks for looking and I hope you will join the Color Challenge this week!

That designer series paper (frame) is delightful! I love all the elements - my eyes just keep dancing around from embellishments, to the tiny frames of color around the dsp, to the vellum heart and happy hello!

Great way to use white ink! I know we have s tutorial for something similar except that instead of white ink to soften the colour, it uses misting with water and then dabbing with paper towel to lift some colour from the unembossed areas. I'd definitely like to try this. Thanks for sharing another way to use white ink.

Ooh that is cool, I like the uniform fading it gives using that ink. ( I think I tossed all my white ink years ago and it never did what I wanted it to do haha)
