| Instructions: | ||||
|
|
Stamp and color your image in first. To color the flowers, a blender pen and classic ink was used. This is better than the aquapainter for this application, because the cardstock does not get as wet. You also want to use a thicker cardstock, like Confetti or Naturals White for this technique, instead of Whisper White. It will hold up better to the multiple layers of embossing powder | |||
 |
Place your entire piece of cardstock image down on a Versamark pad and rub over it to evenly coat it with ink. | |||
 |
Place the cardstock in a Powder Pal and cover it with Glassy Glaze Enamel embossing powder. Basic clear embossing powder will not work well for this technique. | |||
 |
Heat the entire surface with a Heat tool to melt all of the Glassy Glaze Enamel. You need to apply three layers of enamel. If you are quick enough, you can pour more powder directly onto the surface while the enamel is still hot. If this is not working for you, then simply let the paper cool and place it back onto the Versamark pad to pick up more ink. This will enable you to add the next layer of enamel. | |||
 |
After applying three layers, place the cardstock in the freezer for a few minutes to cool and completely set. Remove it from the freezer and let it reach room temperature. Then hold it tightly and bend until you hear and feel the enamel crack. You can add as many cracks as you like. | |||
