How to Emboss Resist

  1. Stamp Your Image with Versamark

  2. Cover in Embossing Powder. Shake off the excess.

  3. Heat Embossing Powder with a Heat Tool until melted.

  4. Add waterbased ink with a Water Painter or a Blending Brush over the image. The embossing will resist the ink.

  5. Once you’re happy with the inking, wipe any excess ink from the embossed image with a tissue.

Try this technique in other colors, too!

I made this one in the video below, and I just love these more sunset colors, as requested by my viewers. I’ve added a gold bird for this one to compliment the rich colour scheme.

Colors used are Cinnamon Cider, Bumble Bee, and Cajun Craze.

Emboss resist is a great way to use your more solid images, even for a background

For this version, I’ve used Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green, two of my favorite colors together. In fact, most of my house is some version of these two colors. Add a splash of Polished Pink for a bit of pop.
