Dazzling Diamond Dust

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

  1. Step 1

    Stamp your images on your glossy Cardstock. Let dry.

  2. Step 2

    When images are dried completely cover the entire piece of glossy cardstock with Versamark™ ink.

  3. Step 3

    Place your cardstock over the Powder Pal™. If you don't have one, use a piece of copy paper. Pour iridescent ice embossing powder all over the cardstock.

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

    Finish your card.

Variations

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