Faith Makes Things Possible

This design began with my playing around with an
EK Success punch. I drew two orange metallic lines close
to the punched area and then searched for a way to use
it on a card. The scrapbook paper with the white leaves
seemed to be a perfect match.
The stamped phrase is one of my favorites
and is made by
River City Rubber Works.
The image has been stamped with VersaMark and
embossed with fine line black embossing powder.

A Perfect Match

Have you ever had a piece of paper that you just

loved the color of and could not find an ink

or embossing powder to match it???

I have a solution. It is soooooo simple and

it works every time.

The above card is it!!!

Stamp with clear pigment ink or VersaMark,

apply clear embossing powder and heat

with a heat gun.

The result is a perfect match

that is several shade darker than your card stock.

How easy is that?

Now you can add to your card and embellish as desired

or send it just as it.

Botanicals

This card has such a soft subtle look that is very easy to achieve.

The background is more Glimmer Mists. Can you tell how much I love those Glimmer Mists?

You could use this technique on plain paper and get a similar effect.

Stamp your image with VersaMark and apply clear embossing powder. This causes your stamped image to be several shades darker than your paper. No matching embossing powders! I love it. Great results that are fast and easy.

The botanical stamp is by Fred B. Mullet. This company has some fantastic botanicals and fish fossil stamps. Very high quality rubber that stamps beautifully.

The second card uses the same technique with one difference. Some of the images have been embossed with fine line gold EP.

Note that the edges of these cards have been sponged with black dye ink.

This technique can also be used to create very interesting backgrounds.

Sunrises and Sunsets

The area where I live has some absolutely stunning

sunrises and sunsets.

I have taken pictures and when I print those pictures,

they don't look real.

Below are my very pathetic attempts

at catching the beauty of what God created for our pleasure.

Both cards started with plain white cardstock.

The colors were sponged in.

Then the entire card front was dusted with talc, image inked with

VersaMark and fineline black embossing powder applied.
