Emboss Resist with Papertrey

I couldn't resist this challenge, hahah, NO pun intended!!! I love any excuse to get my Papertrey stamps inky. Nichole is celebrating the 3rd birthday of her fabulous stamp company. An AMAZING prize is involved, too!

I used Damask Design and Polka Dot Basics on this card. The colors are Melon Berry, Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate and kraft. I love how those polka dots peak through the fleur-de-lis (did I spell that right?)! I stamped the tiny dots in dark chocolate ink on rustic cream cs, then stamped the fleur-de-lis with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. I finished it off with a sponging of Melon Berry ink. It's a great way to add another dimension of texture and color. You can really see it well in the upper right side of the card. Nichole has her first How-TO video tutorial on this technique. Check it out!

Hugs, Lisa
