I brainstormed several ways I could create this look and settled on heat embossing. My niece came over for a crafty playdate and we gave my technique a workout. Here is how you can create this faux stained glass look in your stamping.
1. Stamp image on white cardstock using Club Scrap® Onyx Hybrid Ink. Sprinkle the stamped image with clear embossing powder and melt with a heat tool.
4. Use a Marvy Uchida Wet Looks Embossing Marker to color in the leaves and the surrounding areas. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and melt with a heat gun. Tip: Heat emboss after each color application. For example, color in the yellow and orange leaves first, sprinkle with embossing powder and heat set. Then repeat with all the colors until the image is finished.
5. Stamp the gear border from the Time of Your Life Unmounted Stamp sheet.
6. Cut along the straight edge to create two border strips.
7. Cover the raw edge of the embossed panel with the stamped strips and attach to a folded Dark Pink card base.

Wow those markers must be pretty neat (Janet, you do NOT need those markers...) Love both cards!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Your niece is a cutie, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat and beautiful cards, Julie.
ReplyDeleteWonderful technique.
Thanks for inspiring us with another fabulous technique, Julie! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnother must do technique, thanks Julie!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card technique! thank you, Julie!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. These markers look fun. I see they sell 3 different sets. Which colors did you use? Are they from a particular set?
ReplyDeleteGreat question Lynn, it was the Pastel set.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteWould any other marker work?

I don't think so Bee because these stay wet for a very long time. Other markers just soak into the cardstock and don't allow the powders to stick.
DeleteLove this technique, Julie! The cards are beautiful. Your niece did a wonderful job with her stamped image. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this technique would work with regular markers and versamarker over top then embossed... Off to experiment. Thanks for sharing Julie.
ReplyDeleteYes, Melissa . . . I think you're on to something there, for sure!
DeleteOh yes, a versa mark pen would work great and then you could use colored embossing powders instead of the clear. Just flip the technique around, great idea!

ReplyDeleteReally cool technique, Julie! Thanks for sharing. Good idea, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeletewonderful and neat technique. Your nice is going to be a fabulous stamper - oh, she already is!!
ReplyDeleteJulie - what a great idea. I didn't have those markers, looked for them but couldn't find. So, I improvised. I used regular non-watercolor markers to color the inside of the leaves. Then I used a Versamark Pen, and used that to "color" over the marker and then used clear embossing powder . Even though the markers were not-water color and I let them dry, do wipe off your Versamark pen on paper between colors or they do transfer. It really came out nice. I also used the Aspen leaf border,
ReplyDeleteTerrific, glad to know the Versamarker works too! Great tips!
