VIDEO | Easy Emboss Resist with Altenew

Hello there, today I have a tag and video to share using one of my favourite techniques - emboss resist. I think it is a technique that often gets forgotten about but it is one of my favourites as it is easy to do, requires minimal supplies, and gives wow results!

I started off my tag by stamping the floral image from Altenew Build-A-Garden: Hellebore Haven onto white cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. The panel was then die cut into a tag using the Altenew Terrific Tags Dies. 

I added ink blending to the tag using Altenew Bubblegum Dreams Fresh Dye Inks and an Altenew Small Blending Brush. I started off by adding a layer of Baby Pink over the entire tag, followed by Fuchsia and Magenta, focussing these inks around the edges of the tag. I then went in with Altenew Jet Black Fresh Dye Ink and an Altenew Mini Blending Brush to darken the edges even more. 

As the inks go on, they do resist the embossing powder but some do lay on top of it, so I wiped over the tag with a dry cloth to bring back the shine of the embossing powder. I wanted to add even more shine, so I grabbed the Altenew Iridescent Ink Shimmer Spray and splattered it on top of the tag before setting it aside to dry. 

Once dry, I adhered another tag cut from white cardstock to the back and then die cut the hole reinforcers from Altenew Labels & Tags 1 from white cardstock and adhered them on top. I also die cut the 'thanks' sentiment from the Altenew Simple Greetings Die Set from white cardstock (with Double-sided Adhesive Sheet on the back) three times and adhered them one on top of each other, before adhering to the tag. 

I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Altenew Build-A-Garden: Hellebore Haven onto white cardstock, cut it into a strip and adhered it below the 'thanks'. To finish, I added twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow.

Although simple in design, I really love how the tag turned out! I made a tag but of course this technique works well for cards too. I just like the small size of tags sometimes! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
