Resist technique card

This is the second card from Saturdays Craft class, now any of you who follow my blog will know this is not my usual style but Sarah has got some new Hero Arts stamps in and asked me if I would have a go with the Hello Flower one  so here is the first one. I have used a resist technique on this card so have stamped the image with Versamark  and then heat embosses with blue pearl embossing powder. Once the powder has set I have inked over the image with Weathered Wood Distress Ink, the ink only takes to the card beneath the embossing. I have then keep the card nice and simple matting and layering onto some navy and teal card and finishing off with a Prima blue gem in the centre of the flower.

I kept my card very simple this week and have used butterfly die to cut 2 butterflies out of some Basic Grey paper to create the main focus of my card I have embellished the butterfly with some clear gems.
For the resist technique I have stamped a swirl stamp with clear ink and then heat embossed it with clear powder. I've then inked over it with pink distress ink and added a few gems to the swirls.
