- Gold embossing powder

- Brayer
- Inkadinkado Stamp - Caroler's Collage

Instructions:

- Cut red cardstock for card - I used 6" x 10" and folded to 6" x 5"
(make sure you have an envelope to fit the card size you are making
if you`ll need an envelope!).
- Cut strip of green cardstock 6" x 1" and gold paper 6" x 1.5".
- Tear a piece of glossy paper 3.75" x 4.5".
- Roll brayer on rainbow ink pad & roll color onto glossy
cardstock.
Let sit until dry.
- Stamp Caroler's Collage on glossy cardstock with black ink.  Let
dry.
- Make sure you're using inks that will dry on glossy cardstock!
- Ink edges of glossy cardstock with green area of rainbow ink pad.
- Stamp large snowflakes in gold on red card front.
- Attach green, gold & glossy cardstock to card front.
- Stamp small snowflake on green cardstock to left of glossy picture
with embossing ink.  - Emboss in gold.

Embossing Instructions:

- Ink stamp with embossing ink.
- Stamp image (unless you have a tinted embossing ink you won't be
able to see it very well - will look wet).
- Sprinkle embossing powder over stamped image.
- Shake excess powder off card & back into embossing powder bottle.
- Heat with a heat gun until embossing powder melts.  You should see
a color change when it melts.
- Be careful not to heat too much or your paper will curl & burn.
- Don't waste time between steps.  You have to put the embossing
powder on before the embossing ink dries.  Embossing inks are
designed to stay wet longer but it's still a good idea to move
quickly.
