Blog Waddle w/ Stray Ducklings-- Showcasing Holiday/Winter products (Mistletoe Magic Bundle Featured Here)......

This creation was made for a class project featuring techniques.  "Faux Tile" is what this stamping technique is called and it's totally fun to do!!

Here are the basic steps:

1.  I cut the vanilla card stock 4 in. x 5 in. to make the scoring grid lines every 1 inch.

2.  Then you stamp all your images and the ink DOES not get in the grid lines which is the affect you are going for with this technique.

3.  Once you stamp and color etc., you want to apply the entire Versamark Pad all over your stamped images and grid lines.  (make sure your pad has some refill "goop" added before doing this)

4. RIGHT AFTER adding Versarmark, pour some Clear Embossing Powder over your paper.  Add plenty so the entire card has even coverage.

5.  Heat emboss using a Heat Tool so the paper is all shiny.

6.  Repeat with adding more Versamark coverage & a 2nd dose of powder.

7.  Heat set again to make the 2nd & final coat  "Shiny" !!

8.  Let paper cool a bit and then put under some heavy books to help flatten it out.  Use this beautiful "Faux Tile" creation to complete your finished card  :  )

 

 I SHARE MY PASSION FOR STAMPS, INK & PAPER WITH A SPECIAL FLOCK OF LADIES CALLED THE "STAMPIN STRAY DUCKLINGS".  WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER, FEATHERS FLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN WE HAVE!!
