I'm using some of the Andy Skinner new release stamps today - Mandal and Pebble Beach to create this emboss resist background.
I started by scraping some gesso thinly over my card and when it was dry I added some London Brick chalk paint rubbed it around, spritzed it with water and dried it.
I stamped the mandala and pebble beach stamps with embossing ink, covered it with the embossing powder and heat set it . When the card was cool I squeezed over a little white chalk paint and again spritzed with water and rubbed it around then took my heat gun and gently wafted it over the surface not getting too close. I let it cool and repeated heating until it was almost dry, then took a wet wipe and gently rubbed over the surface to reveal this gorgeous shabby design
I wouldn't recommend stamping over the surface, it was a nightmare and I had to use both black and white posca pens to touch it up!!! ;o))

Amazing shabby chic background - but yes, I can imagine the stamping was a nightmare over all that scrumptious texture! Never mind, the touching up worked a treat.
