Can't resist fall leaf


"Can't resist" in the title is word play -- I used two different resist techniques on this mini slimline card. To create the background, I used emboss resist -- stamping and white-embossing the hatched design, then sponging color over the panel for a colorful background -- the embossed area resists the sponged ink and stays white. For the leaf, I used waxed paper resist, which involves crumpling wax paper, ironing it on glossy card stock, then sponging on colored inks. The wax resists the color.

Both the tag and leaf were cut with stitched dies.
