 Γεια σας και добρία ilk. Γή gent i'm going to show you a really fun technique, one of my favourites when it comes to embossing i'm going to showcase the technique by using this lovely full stencil, this is from the latest release by Waffle Flower and it's full of leaves. Perfect for this season. However it would work with any stencil that you have at home. For my example today i'm working on watercolor paper just because i know that the stress oxides do blend beautiful on watercolor paper Επίσης, εγώ αρέσει το τέκτυρο και αυτό το τέκτυρο για ένα φόλ καρδί είναι καλύτερο, νομίζω όχι, μπορείς να κάνεις την ίδια ίδια τέκνιξη σε ένα μικρό πίσω της πέμπυρας. Είμαι σκέφτητας το στενσίδι, από το σπίτι και μόνο από μόνο μέσα. Αυτό είναι πολύ σημαντικό, θα δείτε why in a bit. Είμαι χρησιμοποιώντας ένας από τα τελευταία κόμπωσης όταν έρθει στον φόλ καρδί και αυτά είναι τα διστρέσεις μου οξίδες στο σπίτι και το καρδίκτο κόμπωσης. Είμαι μπροσφημένος απλώντας my two shades of orange there και φυσικά depending on the stencil that you are working with you can throw in the mix even more colors and let's lift the stencil so you can see what we have up to now Already gorgeous and you can use that as a background on a card however let's take it a step further i'm going to throw in the color mix a little bit of dark brown i'm using ground espresso here and i'm going to add some splashes over the stencil this way i make sure that they're going to stay directly on top of the leaves every time i make a step i lift the stencil so that i can see what i have up to now and now this is where i decided that i wanted to throw in a little bit more of that brown so with a very fine brush i'm adding a touch of brown on all of these leaves just a little bit on one side we'll do the trick you will see that when i lift it it's going to give a completely different look i think that the beauty of every card is always in the details and again i'm going to leave the stencil so you can see what to have up to now this would work as a background as it is just stick a sentiment or to where you have a lovely full card but there is always one more step that can take your card to another level this time i'm going to splashes with gold watercolor now these splashes fall only on the opening so only where the leaves are i'm going to leave the stencil and hopefully you will see all that shine that i got from those splashes and now let's clean the stencil without removing it from the paper my tape works as a hinge so i can easily clean it up without making a mess on my background it's really important in this step to clean up the stencil since i'm going to move on and work with a versa marking and i don't want to make any smudges or contaminate my ink pad and once i'm sure that the stencil is completely clean front and back it's going to fall exactly where it was in the beginning and before i move on and do my embossed resist this is where my mixed media side kicks in i just wanted to do some stamping through the stencil so i'm using just a text stamp that i had in my stash again using the same distressed oxide brown ink that's ground espresso and i'm stamping through the openings the text which is going to fall only on some of the leaves i didn't do a perfect stamping i just wanted some stamping here and there just for some added interest again you can stop here it looks stunning but let's go ahead and do some embossed resist now for that you are going to use your versa marking you can either go all over the stencil directly with your ink pad either you are using the smaller or the bigger one but there is a chance to contaminate your ink pad if you want to keep it nice and clean you can use the re-in so here i have my versa marker ink and i'm going to apply a little bit of that on the foam of my blending tool of course you don't have to work with versa mark ink any embossing ink that you have at home will work for this technique i'm going to make sure that this is nice and wet and then i will go over all of the leaves everywhere where i have an opening i can make sure that these are all nice and wet if i lift and tilt it to catch the light and let's check the foam and see if it was at all contaminated and the truth is that it stayed quite clean now this is where i have covered everything i'm going to catch the light and hopefully you will see that every area is shiny this means that i do have versa marker everywhere and it's time to apply clear embossing powder the embossing powder is going to stay only where the leaves are and it's going to block them it's going to protect them and make them resistable on any other ink blending that i'm going to do later on on top it's a really fun technique it gives a color block effect and i absolutely love it it's so much fun to play with embossing powder after all the added bonus is that you will end up with shiny leaves which are going to stand up even more and it's always so satisfying to see the embossing powder melt and turn those leaves shiny heat embossed technique was what fascinated me when i started with card making and it never gets old and i'm going to take a moment here and just appreciate how beautiful it is i wanted to cover up the background with brown but i absolutely love it as it is however since that was the plan from the beginning i'm going to go ahead and do that i'm starting with vintage photo just to apply a light brown all over the background i'm going over the leaves i don't mind if i cover them up they are going to resist the ink and once i cover it up completely i can go ahead with a cloth and just wipe them off before i move on to a darker shade i'm going to bring my trimmer and cut it and this will end up being four by five and one quarter and then to help those leaves pop even more i'm going to go all around with an even darker shade of brown this time i'm using ground espresso i did go all the way to the edge and i let that left the center a little bit lighter and i'm going to finish it up with some black shoot all the way to the edges the darker the color of the background the more the color of your design is going to pop now i'm going to bring in a clean cloth and i'm going over the leaves make sure that i remove any excess ink that stayed on top and here is what i have up to now absolutely stunning that embossing ink trapped even those splashes of gold watercolor and it is really stunning in real life all you have to do with a card like this one is to add a sentiment on top for that i did use an alphabet die set by waffle flower to cut out those long letters and i did cut them out the outline out of brown cardstock that matches the color of my background and then for the thin letters i did use gold glitter cardstock i'm sticking one on top of the other for that i'm using my berry art glue just because it has a very fine tip and if it oozes out from behind it's not going to show it's going to disappear completely and just because i left a mention i'm using those fine strips of foam tape at the back i'm just taking the time to do that or on the back of all the letters so that i can pop them on my card now to make sure that these are nicely leveled and lined up i'm just using a t-ruler i'm spelling the word fall and to complete my sentiment i did found one of the sticker sentiments by team halls this is from a booklet and i'm just going to stick it underneath that says there is always something to be thankful for i'm finishing off my card by adding a few gems these are in copper color but the truth is that this is already a very shiny card and really beautiful in real life so you really don't have to embellish it even more i placed this panel on a chocolate brown card base that's four and a quarter by five and a half and you can see here some close-up photos a post resist is a fun technique and gives amazing results and i hope that this video was fun and that you got inspired to try it out yourself this video is part of a blog hope as we celebrate the latest release by waffle flower make sure to
