Wow! I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted! Time sure does fly these days - guess it's that getting older thing, but we won't talk about that... LOL! On my own behalf, I will say that I haven't been totally slackin'! My sister, Jonna, and I have been working diligently getting stuff ready for a craft sale coming up at my work next Friday. I will be taking pics of all of that stuff and getting it uploaded... one of these days... :)
In the meantime, here is a card I made for our last stamp club. The challenges have now changed to techniques and this was what I did for the VersaMark Resist card. The "flower" is the resist part of the card. Often you see this done where the background is the resist and there are many beautiful cards created that way. I decided to do it a little differently with just the focal image as the resist piece. Also, I did it on Very Vanilla cardstock as opposed to glossy white, which is also often used for this technique. All you do is stamp your image with VersaMark ink on blank cardstock, emboss with clear embossing powder, then brayer or sponge color over the embossed image(s) until the paper is colored to your satisfaction. The embossed image will resist the ink and stay the color of your c/s. Your will need to take a tissue or paper towel and gently rub the embossed image to remove any excess ink. Then you can finish creating your masterpiece.

Gorgeous card! Very elegant!
I just love this effect--what a cool technique! Gosh, the Mustard DP sure is gorgeous! Wow! I think that might be my favorite color so far in these prints. Now stop with the enabling! I'm trying to be good! Such a beautiful card, Dana!
