Have you tried to watercolor a heat embossed image?
- Cut Fluid 100 watercolor paper to the layer size you want. I used 5" x 3 3/4".
- Use the embossing buddy on your paper. (I often forget to do this! It helps the powder to only stick where you put the versamark ink.)
- Ink up your image with Versamark ink. This is a clear sticky ink that stays wet longer.
- Pour on embossing powder. I used copper. Shake and tap off excess. Use a small paint brush to get any stray powder off.
- Use the heat tool to activate the powder. This is when the magic happens. It's my favorite part. Let the image cool a bit (maybe a minute or less)
- Grab classic ink pads in the colors you want to use. I used Berry Burst, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Pretty Peacock and Timid Tiger. *all inks by Stampin' Up!®.
- Use a clear block to pick up ink from the pad or press it to transfer ink to the pad lid.
- Use paint brushes in various sizes to add water to your ink. The more water you use the lighter the color.
- Start adding color to your embossed images. You can dab up any extra water with a paper towel. You can also add more color or mix colors on top to create darker areas. Enjoy the process!
- Use a heat tool to dry the layer before stamping a greeting.
