I am NOT an inky person.
My cards consist mainly of stamping in Memento Black and colouring with Copics.
So, it's high time I stepped out into the scary world of coloured inks
and inky techniques.
Here's my first attempt at emboss resist
I kinda like it, but to a neat and orderly Virgo like me it's going to take some getting used to.
I stamped my hearts in white ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
Then I used pieces of sponge to apply a couple of different shades of ink.
Finally, I stamped my sentiment and added a couple of gems.
I can't say I've caught the inky bug yet, but I'll definitely try this technique again.

Beautiful card Caroline. Give it a bit longer, you will enjoy I am sure. Try white emboss and watercolour with your inks, you can achieve some beautiful vibrant looks 😉
