Everyone joining me at my July monthly classes will get to make one of these cards.

Are you signed up to come stamp with me?

Which one of these cards are you going to make?

 

Notice how the letters are different colors? 

This is a technique called the Black Magic Technique.

It looks like a colored chalk board doesn't it. 

 

How did I do it?

1.  Use Embossing Buddy over the entire piece of Basic Black card stock

2.  Stamp image onto Basic Black card stock using a White Craft ink pad or a Versamark pad.

(For my classes this month I'll be using the White Craft ink pad so that you can see the letter easier.)

3.  Put White Embossing Powder over the letters.

4.  Be sure to tap off excess & don't leave any little white powder residue anywhere except on the letters. 

5.  Heat the White Embossing Powder using the Heat Tool.

6.  Let dry/cool a few minutes.

7.  Now color over the top of the "White Embossed Letters" with your choice of Stampin' BLENDS!
