May Card Class

Oepsss... I have been so busy, I totally forgot to post the cards from the card classes lately.
Here you will find cards from the May card class.

With these 3 cards we used Versamark Ink and used different techniques.

The first card Versamark was used as a watermark. "Happy Birthday" was stamped with the Stamparatus (retired).

The second card has the medallion what was stamped with Versamark straight to the paper and dipped in the gold embossing powder and melted with the heat embossing tool. This was repeated 3 times, the stamp was stamped in the Versamark and while the gold was still hot the image was stamped into the melted gold. After this process, it was cut with a die.

The third card was stamped on Basic White card stock with Versamark and clear embossing powder was used. After using the heat tool a Blending Brush with ink was used to give color on the card. As you can see the stamped image is resisting the color. When the color is to your likes, use a tissue afterwards and massage gentle over the image to take off the excess ink.
