Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Ink up your brayer with the lightest colored ink and brayer over some parts of your white cardstock.
-
Leave spaces white.
-
Step 2
Take your second color and repeat step one.
-
Step 3
Rub the whole sheet of cardstock with your embossing buddy™ or dryer sheet to keep stray embossing powder from sticking to the rest of the paper.
-
Step 4
Stamp your image randomly in VersaMark™, or as shown here with white pigment ink.
-
Step 5
Pour the embossing powder over the images. Tap off excess.
-
Heat it.
-
Step 6
Brayer over your cardstock with your darkest color.
-
Step 7
Take a paper towel and buff over your embossed images to take away ink that was brayered over them.
-
Step 8
Stamp your image again, but this time with your darkest ink.
-
Step 9
Now finish your card. You can use the finished piece of cardstock as a background, or as a card itself.
