Just Us Girls #470 - Trend Week

It's challenge two of the new year for Just Us Girls and Vicki has chosen this for Trend Week.
I decided to do faux batik on my card.  I'm pretty sure I've done it before and I love that it takes emboss resist to the next level.
You ink, stamp and heat emboss in successive layers which gives the images different colors.  My leaves are from WPlus9 and Altenew and the inks are all Distress Inks.  I finished it off with a PTI sentiment embossed on vellum in Platinum.

We have two guest designers with us this month - Janet and Cindy.  You'll want to check out their cards and the rest of the Design Team for inspiration.  If you enter a card you have a chance to be Chic of the Week and a possible guest design spot.

See you in the gallery.

Bobby, this is stunning! Your results are beautiful with the various shades of leaves. I had forgotten about the technique being done in layers, thanks for the reminder!

Such a perfectly created sympathy card, Bobby. The layered shades of green are gorgeous, and I love the platinum embossing powder on the vellum. That really lets your design shine through. Such a pretty card! Bev
