N
ormal heat embossing with
stamps can be used to create a
nice raised effect on your cards
or projects, but using the same embossing
powder over the raised areas of a piece of
dry embossed card can create a much
deeper and more dramatic result!
The process is very simple and
involves dry embossing a piece of card
with an embossing folder, then using a
VersaMark or another tacky ink pad to
ink the raised areas of the card. You then
add your choice of embossing powder
and heat set it using a heat tool.
For this set of cards, I used iridescent
two-tone embossing powders (available
in a multitude of colours) from Lindys
Stamp Gang to create a two-tone effect
background that just looks luxurious. Not
to mention, it has a lot of impact and
works really well when teamed up with
the focal point of a stamped or printed
sentiment.
