Lisa is our Teapot Tuesday hostess. We are sending cards of encouragement to Tricia. Lisa challenged us to create a card using one of our favorite card making techniques. I love to stamp my own backgrounds and I love the ink-resist technique, so I used those techniques on this card for Tricia.
Using blending brushes I lightly brushed on some Turquoise and Grape ink on my white panel and heat set the ink. Then I stamped several images with Versamark, clear embossed and heat set them. I then stamped more images in Versamark, white embossed and heat set those. I used the blending brushes again to heavily add more Turquoise and Grape inks over the embossed images. I used a paper towel to wipe off any inks sitting on top of the embossed images. Lastly, I stamped the butterfly and the grouping of tiny blossoms with Versamark and embossed with Pewter embossing powder.
I matted the finished panel with aqua and purple cardstock. I stamped and fussy cut the flower embellishment and die cut the leaves from glimmer cardstock. I added Wink of Stella to the flower. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with pewter embossing powder on vellum cardstock.
Thank you, Lisa, for hosting. LeAnn, I hope your friend, Tricia, is greatly uplifted by all the Teapotter cards coming her way.

Love these colors as they were my high school class colors so always brings a bit of nostalgia when I see them. I adore your ink resist techniques used on this beauty. I have never thought to emboss both in Versamark and White and I love the effect. I will definitely try that out sometime in the future. Adding the bits of gold is the perfect accents and I love the images you used for that. Gorgeous card and I'm sure a card maker like Tricia will be cherish all the work put into this beauty.
