Oh Happy Day - Double Layer Embossing

Good morning! Stopping by this morning to share another card using some of the amazing new product from Simon Says Stamp called the Masterpiece Box - full of new unreleased products from some of your favorite companies! For today's cards I decided to use the Simon Says Stamp set that is included in The Masterpiece Box and a super fun double layer embossing technique with distress inks!

The idea for the technique I used on these popped into my head as I was driving home the other night - I couldn't wait to get home and see if the idea in my head would work like I hoped - I was so glad it did! Let me tell you what I did...

I started off by stamping all the flowers and leaves and such in clear Versamark ink on white cardstock. BEFORE adding embossing powder, I stamped the sentiment over the top with black Versafine ink. Since both of these inks work well with heat embossing, I then sprinkled the clear embossing powder over all of it at once.

Once I heat set it all, then I set out with all my distress inks to blend on lots of color - and just like magic, the flowers and leaves showed up white, and the sentiment stayed black!

Once I blended my colors on, I flicked on a bit of water, then some white paint splatters.

I die cut the front panel with a rectangle die, then matted it with black cardstock.

Finished off with some clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
