step-by-step: emboss resist with stencils
- Secure a stencil over desired cardstock or prepared panel (may be however you like – plain, ink blended, or even patterned paper as a suggestion). If ink blended, or otherwise inked, using anti-static powder before applying the stencil will help in next steps.
- Using a foam blending tool, apply embossing ink over the stencil, inking as much or little of the stencil as desired.
- Apply embossing powder and heat.
- Apply additional layers of ink as desired over panel, allowing the embossed area to resist the inking – creating a unique look.
- Use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe residual ink off the embossed areas.
