Double Embossing

Today's post brings a technique I've just recently tried out!

The technique is called double embossing. If you'd like to give it a try yourself, scroll down for directions!

Stamps: Occasional Quotes

Ink: StazOn Black, VersaMark

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Love Letter DP

Accessories: Glimmer Brads, Vintage Wallpaper EF, Black EP,

3/8" Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon

Double Embossing

• Ink rubber brayer with VersaMark ink.
• Cover one side of your EF with VersaMark. (The raised portion of what's covered is what you will emboss with powder. Also, works best with BOLD embossing folders.)
• Put your paper into embossing folder and emboss.
• Remove and pour embossing powder over paper, dump excess and emboss!

SUPER Simple!

Hey Everyone!

I've got a SUPER simple card for you all today!

From time to time I find myself in need of a last minute card so I took a sketch challenge from SUDSOL and created this super easy card with limited stamping!

Hope ya'll like it!

Stamps: Because I care
