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.
Today's Stampin' Up! Saturday design was inspired by page 26 of the 2016 Occasions catalog.
This design features lots of coordinating elements from the Botanical Garden suite. I chose the sentiment from the Suite Sayings stamp set. If you love greeting stamp sets as much as I do, it's a must have in your collection!
