Emboss resist is one of the first techniques I learn with heat embossing, well after learning to heat emboss first I guess! But it is always one of the best embossing techniques there is! This technique combined with ink blending will always create stunning backgrounds in minutes. So today, I’ve used some fabulous Catherine Pooler products to create an emboss resist CAS birthday card. My cards have been depleted recently, so I’m building my birthday card stash back up!

Emboss resist CAS birthday card: creating the background
Start off by heat embossing the Making Waves background stamp onto Azaela Hero Hues Cardstock with gold embossing powder. Next, using a blending brush, start to ink blend Sangria Ink over the embossed background, from the bottom to about 2 thirds of the way up.

After, ink blend Merlot ink to the bottom third, blending this into Sangria Ink. After the blending is complete, buff the heat emboss clean with a dry cloth and then trim the panel down to foam mount the panel onto a cardbase.

Emboss resist CAS birthday card: assembling the card
For the sentiment, die-cut the Favorite on a line word die three times out of white cardstock and layer up for dimension. In addition, stamp a smaller sentiment from the Favorite Day Ever Stamp set in Merlot ink and then fussy cut this out.

Add the sentiment sot the front of the card and then finish off by adding gold sequins to embellish.
