Distress Emboss Resist

This technique uses a few old favourites.... white crayon to act as a resist, Distress Ink Pads and the myriad of wonderful embossing folders!  All are created on a plain white card stock and the crayon being waxy, will resist the application of the Distress Inks.  I found an open style of embossing folder with blank areas probably work the best for this technique.

WRINKLE DISTRESS

Wrinkle Distress  -  No, I'm not referring to my worries about being over 50.  As they say, "Age isn't important, unless you are a cheese!".   Young in mind is more important to me as I don't want to be one of those old fuddy duddies who complain about the younger generation and all their imperfections (like we never had any!!!).  Anyway, I digress.... back to the Wrinkle Distress - the real one.  This is a technique using plain white tissue paper, glued wrinkly onto card stock and then coloured with Ranger Distress Stains.  I love how the wrinkles are really highlighted with the deeper colour and by embossing the edge of the whole card it adds another dimension to it.  Samples...

 

"Understood"... (love this colour combination - Evergreen Bough,

Mustard Seed and Rusty Hinge)

 

"Chaos, panic & disorder"... (Iced Spruce and Black Soot)

 

"His soul"... (Gathered Twigs, Frayed Burlap and Evergreen Bough)

 

I'll have more samples of Wrinkle Distress when I next post as during each class I make more samples of the technique.
