BeeBlogHopOpeningIcon

Hi!  Thank you for checking out our blog hop.  We are all sharing a stamping technique with you, so I hope you enjoy and like our ideas.

My technique is the Emboss Resist method.  It is one of my favorite techniques to do and it has been around forever.  I love embossing too!

Emboss resist is when you use embossing powder to resist color added to card stock.  For this project, I used White Embossing Powder on Whisper White card stock then applied my ink colors over top.  You could also use clear embossing powder and also use colored card stock.  The possibilities are endless.
