This technique results in a very pretty and elegant background. It is also very easy to do!

Supplies Needed:

Heat gun
Clear Embossing Powder
Versamark or Clear Embossing Ink
Sheet of Cardstock
Stamp
Ink pad
Brayer (either sponge or rubber) Rubber works better but I only had a sponge and it worked just fine
Tray or Scrap paper
Step 1:

Ink your stamp with either the versamark or clear embossing ink. Stamp this image onto your cardstock and immediately cover with clear embossing powder.

Step 2:

Then heat emboss your image. I did mine one at a time. Make sure to do a random pattern all over your cardstock.

Here is what your cardstock will look after you are done embossing the random images!

Step 3:

Ink up your brayer! Make sure that your ink pad is really juicy and wet! It will make it easier. Then run your brayer over your cardstock.

The finished product:

This is a very easy technique but yet looks like you put lots of time and effort into your project. You can use this background technique on anything from cards to layouts to even altered art!! Have fun and I can’t wait to see your versamark resist techniques in the ScrapFriends gallery
