This technique uses dye inks, glossy cardstock, my favorite Versamark watermark ink pad, and of course heat embossing with the clear embossing powder.
Recipe:
- Start with stamping with dye ink a pattern (this stamp should be something smaller and more detailed) across a 5 x 7 area on glossy card stock.
- With the Versamark Watermark Ink applied to a larger solid stamp randomly stamp across the pattern created with the dye ink.
- Clear emboss the images stamped in Versamark.
- Now you need to apply the same dye ink you put on the small pattern across the complete 5 x 7 glossy card stock. I started with a brayer to cover the whole area. I like my colors dark so I brayered in multiple directions to prevent any streaks of white.
- After I brayered it I actually used the ink pad directly all over especially in the details that were embossed.
- Now take a dry paper towel and wipe of the ink from the areas that are versamarked. This should remove fairly easily. I buffed it quite a bit to get off as much color as possible.
- I cut my pattern into 3 rectangles and mounted them on to purple cardstock and then put them on the lime green cardstock.
- I tied bows around each panel.
- To finish this off I wanted something that added dimension so I stamped 2 butterflies using StazOn on acetate. I wanted to give them the airy feeling by making them see through.
- Add 3 little gems on the outside panels at the top. Just because of the pattern I selected this works well. You can embellish with what works with your project!
