Something New - Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Today I am participating in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

I have been playing with my NEW stamp set, the Ornate Background from Simon Says Stamp. LOVE IT!

Products used:

• Black embossing powder

• White embossing powder

• Versamark ink

• Embossing buddy

• Distress oxide ink - wild honey, carved pumpkin, picked raspberry

• Blending tool

• Yay stamp set from CZ design\Simon says stamp

• Yay coordinating dies

• Emphatic stamp set from CZ design\Simon says stamp

• Ornate background stamp from Simon says stamp

Techniques or tips and tricks

• Take white paper, apply embossing buddy, stamp ornate stamp with versamark. Emboss with black

• Blend distress oxide Ink as desired ****i found this made my black embossing a little dull. In retrospect, if you know you're going to use distress inks, just wait and emboss after for a better black finish.

• Take black scrap paper, apply embossing buddy, stamp "like wow" and "you are flipping amazeballs" in versamark and emboss in white. Emboss a second time for a good solid white image

• apply and enjoy!
