Lately, as I've been commenting on other crafter's blogs I've noticed that a few stampers have been stamping and embossing their images in white or clear and I was immediately smitten with the look. This card is my attempt at it. After stamping the image with Versamark, a white embossing powder was applied and heat set. The image was colored with Distress Inks. I absolutely love this technique!

The following products used on this card can be found at the Loves Rubberstamps online store: 

Prima Julie Nutting Megan
Die-Namics Friend Die
Tsukineko Versamark
Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue
Candi Fix Foam Dots
Tim Holtz Distress Ink:

LRS May 5th Anything Goes

Today starts another challenge at Loves Rubberstamps....it's ANYTHING GOES and is being sponsored by A Random Fan. Grab your markers, colored pencils, watercolors, dies....you get it, anything that's needed to make a project. Create and upload HERE!


Are you saying, "enough with the clouds already!"  I promise I'll give it a rest soon, but I just had to make some in rainbow colors. As I was applying the final layers of purple and pink Distress Inks I noticed the colors where starting to smear and look muddy, so I've decided I'm going to make another cloud template...but this time it will be out of  white board card stock because I think the ink will easily wipe off after every use. I'll let you know how it goes.

TGF Mini Clouds
Memento Tuxedo Black
Copic X-Press It Blending Card
