Supplies Needed:
. Versa Mark ink
. Card Stock
. Stamping sponges
. Irridescent Ice embossing powder
. Heat Tool
. Optional: Powder Pal, Embossing Buddy
1. Begin by applying VersaMark® ink on card stock. We used the direct-to-paper technique for this Happy Birthday card, although you can also use stamping sponges to apply the ink (see Figure 1).

2. Sprinkle Iridescent Ice embossing powder all over the card stock (see Figure 2), shake the excess powder off (see Figure 3), and heat set (see Figure 4). Be careful not to overheat.

3. You're left with a glistening piece of card stock that you can use as background paper or a layer under your focal point. If you're going to adhere anything to card stock accented with this faux-diamond look, you'll need to use a strong adhesive; we suggest Sticky Strip or Glue Dots. This ensures that whatever accent you are using stays in place.
Thanks for stopping by today and on a side note....
Make sure to check out the RETIRED LISTS for items that will no longer be available after June 30th, 2011. Many wood mount and clear mount stamp sets and accessories are being retired in a couple of weeks. Some items are even on SALE. Make sure to order them now. Accessories are only available while supply lasts.
HAPPY STAMPING,

My apologies for being one day late with this post!
Framing is an inexpensive technique to add a great effect to your cards and scrap book pages.
Follow these easy steps with very few supplies:
You will need whisper white cardstock, basic gray classic ink, note quite navy classic ink, pencils to colour your image, the SAILBOAT stamp from the SUMMER MINI and a sponge.
Start by stamping your image in basic gray onto Whisper White cardstock.
Create a template slighter smaller than your cardstock with the stamped sailboat image. I am using regular white paper (not cardstock) for my templates. Cover your image with your template in the center. Sponge all around it to create your frame. Make sure to not move the template while sponging to achieve crisp lines as your frame around your image.
Take your template off and finish the card to your liking!
Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING,
