Supplies
- Vellum sheet

- Versamark or other embossing ink
- Anti-static bag
- Heat gun
- Embossing powder (WOW Opaque White embossing powder used here)

Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Place a background stamp on your work surface.
Wipe a sheet of vellum with an anti-static bag. -
Step 2
Ink the stamp with Versamark ink.
-
Place the vellum over the background stamp. Gently rub over the vellum to ensure all areas are inked.
-
Step 3
Remove, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set.
-
-
Step 4
Ink the stamp once more using a water-based dye ink in the colour of your choice. Turn over the vellum and stamp on the reverse side.
-
TIP:
A piece of scrap paper placed over the vellum will allow you to rub smoothly over all areas easily. (The embossed areas might cause drag and so result in a smudged stamping.) -
Step 5 (Optional)
Die cut a frame using 2 square dies (one slightly larger than the other) and either mount onto foam tape or cut several to make a stack to add definition.
-
Step 6
6. Choose an area of the vellum which looks pleasing through the frame, cut out a square, and adhere to the back of it. (White embossed side uppermost.)
-
Step 7 (Optional)
If desired a larger square can be dry embossed into the card front or front panel using a rubber mat and the sandwich for embossing for your particular machine.
