- Inks for a sponged background (SU Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo used here)
- Embossing ink (VersaMark ink used here)
- Black or other dark dye ink (Memento Black Ink used here)
- Clear embossing powder
- Embossing Buddy
- Heat tool
- Stamping sponge
- Other supplies as needed to complete the project (SU supplies used here: Basic White, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, and Basic Black Cardstock, adhesive)
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Randomly sponge dye inks onto a piece of white cardstock.
-
Step 2
Ink a solid stamp image with VersaMark.
Ink a detailed stamp image (script used here) using Memento ink and “kiss” it to the solid stamp. -
Step 3
Stamp onto the sponged cardstock.
NOTE:
If using the same stamp again, clean the ink off first, then repeat step 2. -
Step 4
Apply clear embossing powder to cover the stamped image.
-
Step 5
Heat set with heat tool.
-
Step 6
Use a sponge or “drag” the Memento black ink pad directly across the cardstock to cover the entire piece of cardstock with black ink.
The embossed image will resist the black ink, and the sponged background will show through. -
Step 7
Use a rag to wipe off any black ink that may have stuck on the embossed image.
-
Step 8
Use the finished panel to complete a card or other project.
