Just Add Ink #460..."Emboss Resist"

Welcome to a new challenge week at Just Add Ink!

Lou has suggested the fun technique of Emboss Resist for us all to use as the Main Focus of our projects this week. Emboss resist is where you trap white or colour under a heat embossed outline or image and then apply ink over the top. The ink won't go (or resists) where there is embossing.

This is a great technique for backgrounds or focal images alike. Our design team had a real fun time with this challenge and that shows in our projects and we look forward to seeing what you will created for your version of this popular technique!
