Hello All and Happy Monday!
Today I'm sharing a card that I created using a colorful panel created during a visit to new crafting friend Doni High (Lime Green Giggles) home last week. It's been years since I played with the emboss resist technique and Doni put a new twist on it by using metal dies in conjunction with the coloring. What a fun day we had!
We stamped a large background stamp using versamark onto watercolor paper then embossed using white embossing powder. Then we started the coloring process using distress inks onto a craft mat, spritzed with water. By using a paint brush, you brush the ink inside the metal die opening to create your pattern. I used various colors and different sized dies. Isn't that cool???

Did you spot Doni photo bombing my photo of her craft space? LOL ... she's so much fun!
I created a second panel which you will see in card form down the road, and on that panel I simply did an ombre coloring style (in purple of course). It's amazing how fast time goes when you're having fun with a friend! Before I knew it, dinnertime was upon me and I had to get back home. BUT ... we live close enough to each other that I'm sure we will enjoy many more fun crafting days together!

Ooops! I was having so much fun sharing our fun day I forgot to share the other elements of this card. I've used the Poppystamps 'Jumbled Happy Birthday' die set as my sentiment. Cut once in white and once from a scrap of white that I inked up using Tim Holtz Salty Ocean distress ink then off set them to create a shadow effect. I didn't like the sentiment directly on my colorful panel so I adhered them to a sheet of vellum , cut it out in a rectangle and adhered in the corners with glue dots. Viola!
