Happy Saturday! Today I'm sharing the beautiful card we created during this week's Facebook LIVE. I pulled out my aqua painters to do a bit of water-coloring. I had so much fun revisiting this technique and I absolutely love how this card turned out.

I hope your week is off to a great start...mine has been busy but productive. Today's project features my most favorite thing...ladybugs! I used the Love You Lots hostess stamp set and added a little water coloring to the ladybugs. I'm no water color expert but I sure do love how this card turned out!
Today's project features the emboss resist technique. I have never done this technique before but it allows you to give your embossed images a multi-layered appearance. I did a very simple version of this technique in my card project today. I added a wash of ink to my embossed image using Stampin' Up!'s aqua painters. It really made my image pop and I love the varying depth of the ink saturation.

EMBOSS RESIST
Directions:
1) Stamp and heat emboss your image. Allow image to cool.
2) Apply ink directly to the paper (over and around the embossed image) using a sponge, brayer, or aqua painters.
3) Wipe the embossed image with a tissue to remove the excess ink.
