White Embossing and Watercolor Resist

1/20/2018

 
We had TONS of fun at Demo this week!! Elli was the demonstrator and we learned all sorts of fun ideas to do with White Embossing Powder and Watercolor Resist.


Picture
The technique:

Stamp an image with Versamark Ink onto white paper, cover the image with White Embossing Powder, shake off the excess, and heat set the image using a Heat Gun.

What you are left with is just a glossy-looking image on white paper. 


Picture
--NOW THE FUN PART--

You can use a variety of different kinds of watercolor products to "Reveal" the image ..
Below are the most popular watercolor products we carry
  • Distress Watercolor Crayons
  • Standard Watercolor Set
  • Colorburst, powdered Watercolors
Picture
Elli pre-stamped and embossed several images and then used a variety of different watercolor techniques to make the images *come to life*

The Distress Watercolor Crayons are a fun one...

How to make the Card:

Stamp and emboss in white on white card stock. Just color across the page, coloring over the embossed image, and then use a wet paper towel or baby wipe to swipe across the paper.. the colors magically blend together and your image appears!

The little Girlie Bot stamp below is from Impression Obsession and is *BRAND NEW*

We carry several sets of Distress Watercolor Crayons.. just pick a stamp and a favorite crayon set and you've got yourself an easy card with a GREAT appearance!
Picture
One of our FAVORITE watercolor products to use is Colorburst. This powdered watercolor is activated with water.

To make the card:

Stamp and emboss in white on white card stock. Spritz the paper with water, sprinkle Pthalo Green, Indigo, and Ultramarine Colorburst on the paper, spritz more water, and WATCH THE FEATHERS APPEAR!!

The stamp shown below is Two Feathers and is made by Stampotique
Picture
This is one of the easiest ideas for doing watercolor with white emboss resist..

Stamp the image or images on white card stock and emboss with white powder. Then, do a quick "Watercolor Wash" over the entire paper and then, using the SAME COLORS as you used for the wash, color in the image. This will make the image stand out and appear darker while it also matches the background it's on.
Picture
If you notice on the heart image above, there is a distressed white border.. this is ALSO done with white embossing powder!

To make  the card:

Rub the edge of the Versamark Ink Pad around the edge of the paper. Then, stamp your desired image in the middle. Apply white embossing powder to the entire image and border, then heat-set. Finally, use a standard Watercolor Set, use 2 shades of red to do a light watercolor wash, and then detail watercolor the heart.

Picture
This next card is SO EASY to make but looks STUNNING all by itself!! This is done by just using a standard Watercolor Set in rainbow order.
Picture
This leaf image is just BEAUTIFUL! I Love this sentiment as well..

Shown are the images Simple Things and Wispy Leaves Large which are both stamps by Impression Obsession
Picture
Check out this idea!

Elli wanted to create a crescent moon... easy enough to do if you have a circle punch! Cut out the circle, then scoot it over the cut-out and tape back down! Now you have a crescent moon stencil!

To make the card:

Trace the moon using a Versamark Pen onto white card stock and color in the moon using the same pen. Stamp the Boy Swing image below the moon and then emboss with white embossing powder the entire image.

Use Colorburst to make the background. Once it is dry, flick Bleedproof White ink across the paper to make the appearance of stars in a galaxy!
