by Beate Johns

Let your images sparkle with this easy and "glitter controlled" technique.

Supplies

Versamark™

Iridescent Ice® Embossing Powder

Glossy Cardstock

Dye Ink

Heat Gun

Powder Pals® (optional)

Step By Step

Step 1.
Stamp your images on your glossy Cardstock. Let dry.

Step 2.
When images are dried completely cover the entire piece of glossy cardstock with versamark ink.

Step 3.
Place your cardstock over the powder pal. If you don't have one, use a piece of copy paper. Pour iridescent ice all over the cardstock.

Step 4.
Tap excess powder off into the powder pal. Then transfer that back into the embossing powder container.

Step 5.
Heat the embossing powder until it gets shiny and the stamped images appear brighter.

Step 6.
Finish your card.

Variation

Brayer some color
Use a brayer and cover your cardstock with one color. Add powder and emboss. Use that for a great sparkling background.
