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.

                                         As I was lifting the Modern Cross Quilt 

                                         used on the previous card, I thought

                                        "What would the negative look like on a card?" 

                                         I quickly grabbed an A2 white card and carefully

                                         placed the still wet stencil face down on it, pressing gently.

                                         It didn't look too bad, more muted yet with some texture

                                         as you see in the second close up photo. 

                                         Hate to waste any of that fun embossing paste!
