I really wanted to make something because I WANTED to, not because I had to. I headed down to my chilly stamp area, bugged some paper with an embossing folder that I just love. Applied VersaMark to some of the raised areas, applied SU's Heat & Stick powder, heated(duh) and then applied some Pearl Ex which does not receive the love that it should.
Disaster, ok that's harsh but the result was not good and I gave up after one color. The Versa Mark, I applied with a cosmetic sponge, didn't just go where I wanted it to sadly and then when I poured on the heat & stick it went in too many other areas around the flowers. Same with the mica powder, I had sort of a halo effect around the flowers. Not what I was going for!
I may try this yet again and brayer the Versa Mark right onto the folder, but I didn't want all the flowers done at one time since I wanted to do them in different colors. Must think on this some more.
