Greetings friends. Today I want to talk about layering stamped images to get a raised metallic look. The Have a Heart stamp set has several stamps that are meant to be layered on top of each other, which makes it a great set for this technique.
The first step is to stamp the solid heart with red ink onto white cardstock. I placed my paper inside a stamp positioner to help line up the images. I don't know if you can see from the picture, but I also added a piece of removable tape to help stamp in a straight line:
The next step is very important. You have to let the ink dry completely before you do any embossing. I let my ink dry and then added a layer of talc to make sure my next step wouldn't stick to the red heart. I then stamped decorative stripes on top of the hearts using Versamark ink and gold embossing powder. Here is what the stripes look like before you emboss:
And after you emboss:
Embossing the stripes in gold gives you a raised texture to the card and adds a lot of sparkle to the card. I made sure to add some gold metallic paper behind my cardstock to make the gold embossing "pop" even more.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
