Christmas Project Parade - Day 18

Emboss Resist Christmas Card

Photobucket

I love this motif from the Friends 24/7 stamp set, and think it makes a great elegant Christmas image. I stamped the image repeatedly on Glossy White cardstock with versamark ink and then heat embossed using clear embossing powder. The last step was to sponge Real Red ink over the entire piece. I didn't want the red to be completely uniform so added more ink in a few places and less in others.

When you sponge the red ink on does it not leave a mark on the embossed image?

Gorgeous card, very elegant!
