Good Morning Everyone
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.
As it's Monday, it's time to share the brand new colour combo over on Creative Colour Challenges, and as always my project today uses this combination.
I decided to revisit the Emboss Resist technique, and along with the Graceful tiles stamp set, I've created a lovely birthday card.

-----------------------------------
Take the Pacific point card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, add one of the basic white panels to the inside.
On the remaining piece of Basic white stamp the two images in versamark ink, covering to whole piece. Sprinkle with a good layer of clear embossing powder, gently tap off the excess and then set with your heat tool. Leave to cool completely.
Once the panel is nice and cool, use your blending brushes, sponges or daubers to apply ink to the card. Add Pacific Point and Coastal cabana, starting with one at either end and blending then to meet roughly in the centre. The Key here is to start light and build your colour, you may have to spend a bit of time swapping between colours and building up depth, but it really is the best way to get that seamless blend.
When you are happy with your coverage, take a dry piece of Kitchen Roll or a paper towel and gently wipe over the panel, lifting up and of the ink that is sitting on the embossed areas, again take your time and make sure that you have lifted it all. The more that is removed the clearer and whiter your images are, so it's best to get off as much as possibly - which isn't too difficult as the ink won't dry into those areas.
Colour in a few lengths of white bakers twine with your Pearl Pink Stampin Blends and then wrap them around you front o this piece focusing around the centre. Once happy add dimensionals to the back of the whole piece and place onto your card front.
On a scrap of basic white stamp the semicircular image in Petal Pink twice and fussy cut. Also stamp the sentiment in coastal cabana and trim. Add this to some petal pink card stock and trim so that it shows at either side but not at the top and bottom.
Arrange the sentiment and the flourishes in the centre of the card front
