This is my second birthday card this week...or should I say, in two days :O) December seems to be a popular month.
I stamped the sailboat in Black Staz-On, colored the boat with SU! markers, then used a VersaMark Marker over the sails and the boat. I poured clear embossing powder over the VersaMark ink and heat set it (note the glare in my picture :O). Once it cooled, I brayered Baja Breeze followed by Pacific Point for the background.
**Please note, that it's important to carefully wipe the embossed image after brayering to prevent smudging on the areas that are not embossed. Yes, I know from experience (gained tonight :O).

Very, very nice! I have not particularly liked that DSP, but you have used it very effectively and have made me re-think my opinion of it! Thank you also for the great description of your technique. I like this a lot!
