This first ATC uses clear stamping and embossing on white card, this is then inked over and then a paper and iron (no steam) used to remove the embossing powder. This gives you your original stamp in white, and you can then stamp over the top as you wish.
I have been using this technique for a while, but after looking at a tutorial on Tim Holtz' website, I tried using the technique over patterned paper - think this turned out rather well!!
All in all spent quite a bit of time making up backing papers this week using this method and I've got lots ready to use although I did get a bit carried away - some of them are rather bright!! You can also sometimes end up with really interesting waste - that's what I've used for the background paper on this collage ATC. It's hard to see but the number stamp I used originally has a reversed image - doesn't bother me though!!!
Finally, a little collage. Just like this one, nothing fancy just pretty.

I really like the last one with the lady and little bird on her shoulder. I love resist embossing too - great fun! And the ironing paper has all sorts of interesting patterns on it when you're done!
these are so beautiful!! have to use that technique more myself,

Hiya -
Thanks for your comments on my blog - am resigned to it now, except I was planning to go to NZ next year to see my Dad and Stepmum and friends from school, but that may or may not happen now :(.
Definitely up for a challenge, though - I need something to get me kickstarted. What do you have in mind?
Fantastic ATC's !!!
