Hi, everyone! Vicki here. Gosh, it seems like forever since I have had a project for you all. Today I will show you how to make a triple embossed tile.
Here is the finish card:
STEP 1
Start by taping down your stencil [I used the new ARTplorations Hearts All Over stencil] and sponging on a light color.
STEP 2
Using a darker color, sponge on color partially [bottom of hearts] to add depth to the image.
STEP 3
STEP 4
Now comes the fun part. Emboss your image with clear powder 3 times, letting it dry before adding additional layers. Yes, you can use a Versamark ink, I just happen to have a dauber embossing ink bottle.
STEP 5
Trim up the "tile".
STEP 6
By the time you have 3 layers, your inchie will resemble a tile. [It is hard to catch it on camera, but it looks awesome in real life.]
STEP 7
Adhere all components onto card base and your triple embossed tile card is done. Since I won't be home for Valentine's Day, I will be mailing this to my hubby. I think he will love it!
