Challenge #29 - Technique Challenge

This fortnight's challenge is a technique one, using the emboss resist technique. this technique is so simple, yet so effective. All you need to do is heat emboss a stamped image with clear or white embossing powder and then colour over it with ink, by using either a brayer, daubers or even some sponges. Wipe off any excess ink from your stamped image with a tissue and voila! So very quick and is a perfect way of making your own background paper in whatever colour you need.

The side twist is to use at least one punch, whether it's a shape, border or an image punch.

This stunning first card from Amy also uses two of the gorgeous new colours, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede.
