Say it with....

...emboss resist! That's the challenge at the AnnaBelle Stamps blog this week.  Here's my card:


I used stamps from  the set called Santa's Star.  I embossed them onto white cardstock with clear embossing powder, then I sponged three different colours of ink over the top. Once the ink was on, I sprinkled droplets of water on top to create a subtle background pattern.  I loved this technique!  The word came from the set called Teresa's Numbers (yes - MY numbers LOL!). The word was embossed and sponged the same way the background was, but then I used my aquash brush to clear the letters out a little and help them stand out.  A couple of eyelets and some blue/white stripey twine finished off the card.
