Easy peasy. In fact, here are the instructions: Ink up Sketchy Alphabet and stamp. Seriously folks (more or less).
OK, if that wasn't easy peasy enough for you, how about this one?
Apply ink to stamp set; stamp; punch a hole in circle snippet and adhere. How about a set of these, each with a different colored circle? Say it with me... easy peasy.
STEP 1
Gathered my supplies - the Sketchy Alphabet set, Versarmark, white embossing powder and a cardbase.
STEP 2
Removed the "H" and "I" and inked the other letters as they are on the acetate with Versamark. Flipped the acetate over onto my card and pressed down using a large acrylic block to get even pressure.
STEP 3
See that magic happening? Seriously, heat embossing never fails to amaze me.
STEP 4
I always stamp my sets once on the back of the cover sheet when I get them (so I can be sure I haven't lost any and also so I have a guide for where to put them back onto the acetate sheet so that they all fit!). So I placed the "H" and "I" back where they originally were to get the same spacing and picked them up with a small acrylic block. TIP: Rather than using black embossing powder, stamp with black Versafine and emboss with clear powder to avoid getting stray black particles on your white card.
STEP 5
Hmm...how to color the "HI"? Colored pencils, markers, more embossing? I decided on a psychedelic look with Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade and Peacock Feathers used as watercolors on my acrylic block.
A sentiment from Bloom Sketches heat embossed onto black CS finished off my card.
