Resisting Tim

I look forward to seeing what interestingly creative techniques Tim Holtz shares at the beginning of each month for his monthly tag reveal. This month was a resist technique. I have done something similar to this in the past, but never utilized an iron to remove the embossing powder. Way cool! Instead of making a tag this time, I decided on a Thanksgiving card for my parents. And, I used colored embossing powder instead of clear embossing powder. The images don't pop as much as Tim's did, but I still like how it turned out. The other technique I tried was one I see Tammy Tutterow use time and again. She embosses the rim of her tags and cards. It gives her projects the perfect finishing touch. The card is based on sketch MFTWSC62 from My Favorite Things.
