Good morning! Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and its a Recipe Challenge:
Use a New (Or Rarely used by you)
Technique
Its been ages since I did an Emboss Resist Background and it used to be one of my favorites, so I chose to do a snowflake background. I used Impression Obsession Snowflakes (one of many background stamps I have) and embossed it with detail white glitter, then sponged the background with ballet blue. I printed Bugaboo's 4 Snowmen Tag image so it fit the entire bottom of the card and popped up almost everything. I LOVE how it turned out and as a bonus I got to use my new icicle die!
Then I tried a background I've never done before, Pigment (Brusho) Sprinkles. Man does it make a mess but I did manage to get a background I liked, then embossed it with white detail glitter. I added stickles to the snowflake centres then the word die.
Drop on by Catch the Bug and check out what the other DT created and then start creating!
I'm entering this into:
