Embedded Image

by Holly McMillen

Create a unique look by stamping an embossed image on embossed background.

Supplies

  • Cardstock or patterned paper
  • Versamark™ , or other embossing ink
  • Ink (color of your choice)
  • Clear Embossing Powder
  • Colored Embossing Powder (color of your choice)
  • Heat gun
  • Stamps (silhouettes tend to work best)

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Stamp cardstock or patterned paper with a script or tight patterned background in ink color of your choice.

    Hint:
    You can skip this step if you are using a patterned paper.

  2. Step 2

    If you are going to die cut your image, do that now. With Versamark™ , use the direct to paper technique to apply a layer of ink.

  3. Step 3

    Cover the image with clear embossing powder and heat set. Wait 2-3 minutes and then repeat steps 2 and3. Allow image to cool.

  4. Step 4

    Stamp your main image onto the embossed piece using Versamark™.Cover the area with a contrasting color embossing powder (seafoam green used here). Heat set.

  5. Step 5

    Create your project using your embedded image!

Hi, can you use UTEE with this technique or is the melting point different? I tried with UTEE and my image bled, a lot.

This is gorgeous. I was wondering if you could use one layer of thick embossing clear powder instead of two regular clear embossing powder layers?
