Hi Juanna
here! May has finally descended upon us! I do not know why, but the month of
May’s a personal favourite of mine apart from December. I do hope this new
month would be one filled with lots of fun and adventures, especially scrap
wise for all of you. (:
Today, I
will be sharing with you an easy distressed/embossing technique that I put to
use on a small card that I made last month.
You will need white cardstock, distress inks in
a darker shade of brown and a light shade of brown, a background stamp of your
choice, another image stamp, embossing ink, clear embossing powder and a heat
gun.
Firstly,
cut your cardstock to a size that you want to work with. My card is in ATC size
of 2.5” by 3.5”.
Next, using
your background stamp, with the darker brown distress ink (I use walnut stain
here), stamp the background image on your white cardstock. Dry the ink with
your heat gun.
Once you’re
certain that the ink’s dry, with your other image stamp, stamp the image on top
of the first background using embossing ink.
Pour clear
embossing powder on your stamped image, tap the excess powders away, and melt
the embossing powders on image with a heat gun. You will get a clear, embossed
image on your card.
After the
image dries, distress the whole card with distress ink in a lighter shade of
brown (I used scattered straw here).
You will be
able to see the clear embossed design standing out on your card very clearly.
Get your
fingers inky! Have fun!
