Materials
Procedure
1. Using Versa Mark, ink up the section of cardstock large enough for you to complete your project. Completely cover the area with embossing powder
2. Heat the embossing powder until completely melted.
3. Let cool.
4. Complete steps 1 to 3, 2 more times.
5. For the last layer (Layer 4) prior to starting, prepare your stamp by inking it in the Versa mark and set it aside. Complete step 1 and 2 again ensuring the embossing powder is completely melted. Immediately place your stamp into the warm embossing powder being very careful not to shift the stamp when placing it or this will muddy the impression. Push firmly into the melted embossing powder and leave for a few seconds. Lift straight up and set aside to cool.
6. Once your impression is completely cool you may then proceed to punch out or cut to the desired shape.
