Technique Tuesday: Wet Embossing

Good Morning Stampers! Today I am going to teach you about wet embossing. It actually is quite simple. First, what is wet embossing. Here is a picture of a card I did using wet embossing on the dots on the cupcake top.

As you can see (hopefully) the dots on the cupcake have a white glazed look. It gives the image a little dimension and adds a little extra something to the card.

First of all you need:

• VersaMark Ink


• Embossing powder in color of your choice (I used white)


• Stamps


• Heat Tool


• **Optional: Embossing Buddy (to reduce static on paper), Powder Pals (for easier clean up)

Here is how I did it.

1) Stamp your image using the VersaMark Ink.

2) Generously pour the embossing powder over the stamped image

3) Shake off the excess embossing powder (this is where you would use the powder pals).

4) Heat the image with the heat tool until the image is glossy looking.

5) Let it dry for a couple of minutes.

Simple, right! Let me know what you think.
