Love this look but don't understand the technique? Could someone please direct me any instructions...I can't find...what/where do you Versamark and e.p. 3 times? I'm envisioning something like wax seals, but that can't be it?!?!?!??

Beautiful card. The key is stamp once with versamark. Sprinkle w/powder, heat set. Repeat again. then once more. Now, take your rubber stamp and get it inked up good with versamark. I have it sitting on the pad all ready to go as I use heat tool to heat up the piece I'm working on, then, while the embossing is still hot, stamp it real quick. You have to work a bit fast, but it's worth the effort.

Creeklife, you mush versamark (straight from the pad) on a piece of cs, and dump copper ep on. heat. put more versamark on top of that, put more copper ep on it, heat. Now mush versamark on top of that one last time, dump copper ep on, heat and when the third layer of ep is still warm, stamp your stamp in the whole mess to imprint a design. I usually call this "Reverse Embossing" 'cause you are embossing into the powder, but it has other names too.

OK! I think I get that...thanks so much for the help. The leaves look so precise and neat that I didn't think it could possibly be "mushed"! Lol...thank you!!!
