One opf my first attempts at Embossing resist.
I used Versamark and clear embossing powder for the flowers on the BG piece and then stippled Antique Linen and Spiced Marmelade distress inks over the top. Used a sponge with water to blend the inks. Then stamped the Itty Bitty BG stamp over parts with Nick Bantock Van Dyke brown ink. and inked the edges. Added some of the Van Dyke brown to the flower centers also.
On the orange card base I stamped French Script and just a about 1 1/2" ion the left I stamped with an Anna Griffin Scroll like BG stamp with brown ink. Also inked the edges of the card. For the big sunflower I colored a piece of cream CS with the Spiced Marmelade and Antique linen distress inks, adding water with a sponge to blend. I then stamped the flower with Versamark and clear embossed. Then stippled some brown ink over the top and around edges. Ribbon is tied to a little S hook I found in the jewelry making dept. at Hobby Lobby.
TFL!
