Hello There,
I hope you had a suburb weekend. Mine was very laid back, just the way I like it. 🙂
In today’s tutorial I thought I would use the emboss resist technique along with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration set, Bloomin’ Marvelous. Remember, you can get this set for free with a $50 order.
I paired the Bloomin’ Marvelous set up with the En Francais background stamp.
I love how this card turned out. Check out the tutorial below for instructions.

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . . . .
Project Supplies: Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Marvelous (Sale-a-bration set) and En Francais Background Stamp
Stamps: Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Baja Breeze, River Rock and Rich Razzelberry
Ink: Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede, Rich Razzelberry, Old Olive, Island Indigo, Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and River Rock
Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponge daubers, clear embossing powder, heat gun, Versmark Pad, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Baja Breeze Seam Binding, Brayer, Square Lattice Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine
Brayered Baja Breeze ink at an angle starting off of the corner of a 3″ piece of Whisper White card stock. Brayered River Rock ink starting off the opposite corner.
Loaded the En Francais background stamp with Soft Suede ink and put the main image panel on top of it. Layered a piece of scrap paper on top of that and rubbed the back of the scrap paper. I find this method easier than trying to stamp straight on a piece of paper that is smaller than my stamp.
Dryed my card stock using my heat gun and the stamped the flower 3 times on the lower right corner and the hummingbird using Versamark Pad for ink. Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Sponged Island Indigo ink over the hummingbird and Pretty in Pink in over the flowers using sponge daubers. Sponged Rich Razzelberry ink in the center of the flowers.
Stamped the leaves in the lower right corner using Old Olive ink and then wiped the ink off of the embossed images.
Sponged Rich Razzelberry ink around the edges of the card stock.
Cut a 5.25″ x 4″ piece of River Rock card stock and stamped the En Francais back ground stamp on it using Soft Suede ink.
Embossed the card stock using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine.
Added 2 Rich Razzelberry Panels,Baja Breeze panel, Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon and a Whisper White card base. Popped my main image panel up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here is the completed card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″.
May you find peace in your soul today.
Until my next post. . . . . .
