CREATE PRETTY CARDS IN NO TIME USING THE EMBOSS RESIST TECHNIQUE & BLENDING BRUSHES
Hi Stampers!
Today’s cards were made using the emboss resist technique and blending brushes. The emboss resist technique is easy to do, but it adds a whole lot of “WOW” to a card. Using the blending brushes to add color to the focal panel adds another little bit of pizzazz!
The cards were created using the PRIZED PEONY stamp set. This stamp set is found in the Stampin’ Up!®️ 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. The cards have the same layout; the focal panel dimensions are a bit different from card to card, and one card is in portrait orientation. I have listed the supplies and cutting measurements for each card below the individual card’s picture. Page down for the Emboss Resist Video Tutorial.

EMBOSS RESIST + BLENDING BRUSHES TECHNIQUE VIDEO
The card made in the video is the Melon Mambo card except the focal panel (Basic White cardstock) is cut at 5” x 3 3/4” and the Basic Black mat is 5 1/8” x 3 7/8”.
I have one more version of this card to share with you. I added ribbon to two corners of the card. Why? Well…I dropped a blending brush, and it left a spot of Bumblebee ink right on the top left corner of the focal panel! The ribbon covered up that little issue perfectly!
OLD OLIVE CARD
SUPPLIES FOR THIS CARD:
* Old Olive card base.
* Basic White cardstock - 2 pieces cut at 5” x 3 3/4” one for the focal panel and one for the inside.
