The secret to creating this card design is in the embossing. Using Versamark ink, I stamped the popsicle image onto the Basic White layer to create a background design and added White Embossing Powder to the stamped images. With the Heat Tool on the 2nd Level, I heated the embossing powder until it turned shiny and white. Once it had cooled, I used Sponge Daubers to sponge the colors onto the Basic White cardstock, in a swirling motion to add a soft layer of color. I used a tissue to wipe over the cardstock and remove the ink from the embossing, so that it would stand out against the sponged background. The embossing resists the sponged ink, hence the name Embossed Resist Technique. To complete the card design, I stamped the sentiment onto one of the labels from the kit using the Bermuda Bay Ink Spot. I attached it to the Silver Glimmer rectangle and added one of the Popsicle stickers to create the focal image for the card. I wrapped the Bumblebee Bakers Twine around the bottom of the card front twice and tied a bow on the left side. Using Stampin' Dimensionals from the kit, I added the focal image to the card front over the top of the Bakers Twine. I adhered the card front to the Flirty Flamingo layer with adhesive and attached it to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love how this card design uses the supplies in the kit to create a stepped up card design that introduces a fun technique.
