CFC #119 - Double Emboss and Resist


Time for another wide-open challenge at CAS-ual Fridays ... either heat or dry embossing on your project. Lots of different avenues for you to head down on this one! Playing around with heat embossing, I was interested to see what would happen with multiple embossing attempts.




The first layer of clear embossing (dots) works as a resist to keep the natural book page color after sponging it with Hero Arts Neon Ink. I was surprised that the second layer of embossing (gold circle outlines) worked as normal and didn't alter the first layer.

Sure hope you'll join in at CAS-ual Fridays with your embossed masterpiece! Checking out the amazing cards made by the design team is definitely worthwhile too. The winner of this challenge will get to enjoy a gift certificate to Ellen Hutson!



Thanks for looking!

    1. Yep, you've got it, Loly! A dot stamp for the clear, and a ring stamp for the gold. They're from the Papertrey Polka Dot Basics set: https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/polka-dot-basics-stamp-set/

      Thanks for your comments : )

  16. The resist circle would have been enough but you put it over the top with the gold outlines. I have that stamp set and I'm going to try CASEiing your card.
