Paisleys and Emboss Resist

When some gals from our Joyful Heart Group got together to swap ideas,

Sondra mentioned this idea: emboss resist with Copper. 

Copper embossing powder and copper foil is so beautiful and I was thrilled when it came back.
I decided to make this card right away and use it for class.

The coloring technique is called burnishing.  Let me explain:

Positioning: I placed the paisley stamps where I wanted them on the card, then put my largest block down on top of them to secure their location.  

Embossing: Rub Embossing Buddy over your piece of Whisper White Cardstock.

Ink all stamps on the block with Versamark ink.  This stamp set is photopolymer so be sure to use the Piercing Mat for better images when you stamp. After stamping, dust with Copper Embossing Powder, turn paper over  (holding it above a piece of clean scrap paper) and tap excess off with a firm flick. Heat with heat tool on high til copper is shiny.  (hint: hold the tool about 1 inch from your cardstock and heat in one area until you see change, then begin to move slowly then as quickly as you see the change, you can continue to cover your whole paper, then remove heat immediately).  Be sure to look over your piece and make sure there are no areas that still appear "grainy".  If you find any, reheat those areas before touching because the powder will fall off if not heated properly

Begin burnishing with Flirty Flamingo ink (tap a piece of the sponge on ink pad, then tap on scrap paper, then begin on your design to rub gently in a circular motion, then keep rubbing harder til you get a good, bright covering.  Just do this color in spots, then repeat the same thing in open spots using Rich Razzleberry.  Completely fill in the white using these 2 colors, blending the colors together.
