Watercoloring With Embossed Resist Hand-Penned Petals

July is almost over which means we’re coming to the end of watercoloring month.

Today we’ll look at watercoloring technique #5 – Watercoloring With Emboss Resist images. If you want to learn another way to emboss resist, click here.

Did you know you can heat emboss with our Classic Stampin’ Pads? You can emboss with any of our 50 colors! To emboss with the classic stampin’ pads, ink your image with VersaMark and then ink onto color desired. Add clear embossing powder and heat set. You are not limited to the embossing powder colors you have!

When you emboss, the embossed areas will prevent the ink you’re watercoloring with from going further.
