Emboss Resist Using Diecuts

 Make It Monday with Laura Bassen

another fun technique to stretch your die cuts by using them as a stencil to emboss resist

                                      I made a stencil from PTI's Triangle Cover Plate. 

                                      The little triangles reminded me of Christmas trees,

                                      so I used green inks to shade the background.

                                      Next I die cut a tree from silver foil paper and 

                                      directly adhered it to background panel,  embossed

                                      the sentiment on vellum, folding edges around the

                                      back of panel to secure before mounting panel with

                                      foam tape on a green A2 card.
