 | | WT1091 = Ribbon - I used ribbon to hide a seam on the embossed panel.
For my focal panel, I laid down some light colour on heavyweight printer paper which I find works better for the faux batik technique than regular card stock and gives more subtle results. I then stamped the holly with Versamark and heat embossed in clear embossing powder, then crumpled the paper, and then sponged over it with darker shades of green. I trimmed it, used a sheet of double sided tape to stick it to cardstock to give it strength, then layered over a dry embossed background. Because my background panel was 5" wide and the embossing folder is only 4.25" wide, I had to run half of it through the embossing folder, then the other half, so I ended up with a messy bit in the middle - I covered that with a strip of ribbon.
Here's a tutorial for the faux batik technique if you're interested:
