Todays TECHNIQUES & TIPS features this ELEGANT MONOCHROMATIC card using the stamp set called BIRTHDAY BLOOMS. Monochromatic basically means using only one color (+ white or another neutral). For this card, I combined several different techniques:
- Embossing with White Powder
- Embossing with a Regular Colored Stampin’ Pad
- Watercoloring
Here is a video showing how to emboss the white rose and watercolor it, and also how to emboss using regular colored Stampin’ Pads–you can emboss with ANY COLOR!!!!
- Rub Embossing Buddy on cardstock
- Ink the rose stamp in Versamark and stamp onto cardstock
- Cover with White Embossing Powder and use heat tool to emboss
- Using AquaPainter and Powder Pink stampin’ pad, color in the flower. Let dry. I watercolored a second time to get it a little darker.
- Stamp “dots” using Powder Pink pad for a little extra dimension
- To emboss “dear friend,” ink stamp first in Versamark, then in Powder Pink (this will NOT hurt your pad)
- Stamp onto scrap and cover with Clear Embossing Powder, heat with heat tool (this will give you a “tone on tone” look that is embossed)
- Punch words out using 1 1/2″ circle punch
- Adhere to 1 3/4″ white punched circle, then to card
- Tie bow and adhere to card with a glue dot
- Stamp rose on the inside layer using Powder Pink ink
- Powder Pink Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Whisper White: 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Powder Pink: 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
- Powder Pink Circle: 1 1/2″

I was must wondering. The versamark ink doesn’t effect the colored inkpad when you stamp with it to do the colored embossing?
No–I have done this for years!!!
