Materials:
- Crafty Secrets SS23 Vintage Silhouettes stamp
- VersaMark black ink
- Black embossing powder
- Heat embossing tool
- Copic Airbrush and markers
- Ribbon
- Rhinstones
- Prima flower
Instructions:
-
I used Versamark to ink up my image.
-
When using black embossing powder it is common to get a bit of splatter around the image. I use a soft paint brush to brush away the excess powder.
-
Next, heat emboss image.
-
Punch a 2" circle from scrap paper.
-
Place it directly over your embossed image. I used magnets to hold the circle in place.
-
These are the 3 Copic colors I used to create my sunset. But feel free to experiment with different colors. I usually Google "sunset images" to see the wide spectrum of colors and their placement.
-
When working with the Copic Airbrush system be sure the chisel end is facing this way.
-
I worked my way from top to bottom starting with purple. Then blue, overlapping the colors a bit. Lastly, comes yellow, remembering to overlap the colors a bit.
-
Take your circle off and you have a sunset!
-
I used Spellbinder's square die to cut out my image. Notice I lined it up, so the grassy hill wasn't crooked.
-
After cutting out the image, take distressed ink and a sponge and apply it to the edges of the square.
-
From there I just assembled my card, added some pretty ribbon, rhinestones, and a Prima flower.
