How do you Resist some Ironing at Woodware

Morning Everyone,
It is my turn to post over at Woodware today where we are looking at Resist techniques.

My card is another made for Christmas I'm afraid  I am trying very hard to get ahead.

The background to my card has been created by stamping and clear embossing the mistletoe and sentiments onto a piece of white card.

Sandwich the card between some layers of copy paper and use a hot dry iron to remove the embossing powder.

Sometimes more of the powder is removed giving a rather patchy look which I must say I rather like.

Sponge over the resulting card with dye based ink to create a Masterboard which I then cut up to create the basis for several cards.
You can also use the pieces of ironed copy paper to create a similar background.

I have added a black stamped and embossed image which I painted with pearlex.

I also added some dry embossing to this card.
The panels have been mounted onto red card stock and embellished with a sentiment and some peel-off squares.
I hope that you will join us this week and try out some of the resist techniques the the DT have shared with you.
Have a great day.
Hugs Kimx

Colourful Best Wishes.

Evening Everyone
Wasn't it lovely to see the sunshine when you opened the curtains this morning? I always feel much more eager to get on when the sun is shining outside instead of curling up and sleeping like I seem to have done for most of last week.

My card tonight has been made for a friends birthday. She may well get to see it here first as she is currently on holiday, but I'm sure she won't mind me sharing it with you.

The colourful background panel has been created using an 'Ironed Resist' technique which I taught many years ago at the Craft Barn.
The leaves have been stamped and embossed onto white card using versamark ink and clear embossing powder.

Colour has been added using Kaliedacolour dye based inkpads and then the panel has been placed between several sheets of copy paper and ironed.
The heat from the iron melts the embossing powder leaving a lovely white impression.
I have used this as a background to an old Stamps Happens image.
I also painted some of the leaves and branches with thin undiluted bleach to remove the colour.
I think that this could be considered suitably spring like to go with the weather today. Lets hope my post tomorrow won't need to be another Christmas card to go with snow lol.
Have a great weekend.
hugs Kimx
