VERSAMARK RESIST

VERSAMARK RESIST is an oldie but a goodie, and a technique I haven't used for ages. Stamp with Versamark (or other clear slow-drying ink), emboss with clear embossing powder, brayer over with ink (Distress inks work well as they're thin) then, if necessary (and it wasn't in this case), wipe excess ink from the embossed area. The embossing protects the paper underneath so the original colour (in this case Kula Cream) is retained. You can, of course also do this with patterned paper but I think I'll use that as another post! The stamp is from Darkroom Door “Artist” stamp set. The card topper is ATC size and could have been used as this instead of being mounted on a greeting card
