Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Ink stamp with Versamark ink. Stamp onto a window sheet.

   

2. Step 2

   Heat emboss the stamped image with black embossing powder.

   

3. Step 3

   Using alcohol markers, color the back of the embossed window sheet.

   

4. Step 4

   Wrinkle a piece of aluminum foil and place it on an adhesive sheet. Place the top protection paper on top of the foil.

   

5. Step 5

   Using a bone folder, press the foil into to the adhesive sheet. Go back and forth to secure the adhesive onto the wrinkled foil.
   

   

6. Step 6

   Place the foil on a silicone craft sheet. Remove the backing of the adhesive sheet.
   
   NOTE:
   Do not pull up but roll off. DO NOT touch the adhesive on foil with your finger; if you need to hold the foil use the silicone sheet. If pulling up or touching the adhesive it will not remain on the foil but will stick to your fingers or the backing sheet.

   

7. Step 7

   With the adhesive facing up, place the embossed window sheet onto to foil. The embossing should be face up with the colored side touching the foil.
