Schritt für Schritt

1. 

   Position the Nordic star stencil onto a piece of dark blue cardstock. Secure the stencil in place with tape, ensuring it is centred with even spacing around the edges.

2. 

   Apply Versamark embossing ink to the white cardstock using a blending tool, working carefully over the positioned stencil to capture the Nordic star pattern. The slightly sticky ink will help the embossing powder adhere in the next step.

3. 

   Remove the stencil carefully to reveal the inked floral pattern. Heat emboss the design using clear embossing powder and a heat gun to create a glossy watermark effect on the dark blue cardstock.

Tipps aus der Show

• Use a dedicated brush for embossing ink as it has a sticky nature that affects brushes differently than other inks.
• When cutting around die-cut shapes to hide paper behind them, angle your scissors slightly inward so the paper disappears behind the die edges.
• Apertures frame your design and guide the viewer's eye, making them a reliable default when uncertain about card composition.
