Ink: Stampin’ Up Creamy Caramel, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Close to Cocoa

Stamped Floral image by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then colored colored the flowers with a Real Red Marker and the leaves and branch with a Basic Black marker an then huffed on it and stamped it on a 3.5″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Now that my image is heat embossed it will resist ink put over it.

    Absolutely gorgeous Michelle. Do you happen to know the kit # for that texture plate you used. I have looked all over and can’t seem to lay my hands on that one.
    Thanks for all your hard work posting these wonderful tutorials.

  4. Michelle! I’ve been thinking about coloring over VersaMark with markers!! I have lots and lots of solid stamps – I really like the technique of blending on them. I’ve thought about trying it with your brayer embossing technique but had done done it yet. Thank you for this tutorial! I’m gonna try!!

    Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

    Awe MAN OH MAN this is a beauty!!!! I’m so glad you used the Cube. I went out and got one some time ago and then didn’t use it again since I finished that one project. Red and Close to Coco!!! I would never have thought to put those two together for the marbling and I love the effect. Michelle you’re a genious!!!! I don’t have all the colors or a die cutter but I think I can “fake” it. Thank you for doing these outstanding tutorials! Happy Easter to you and yours.

  7. Stunning card Michelle! I don’t use red very often either. It always reminds me of Valentines or Christmas. This card, however, does not remind me of those things. Very elegant and peaceful. Thanks for sharing the tutorial with us!

    Lovely card Michelle.
    This one really inspired me to have a go, and I managed to produce 3 lovely cards which I am very proud of. I will be enjoying another brayer/sponging session today, expanding on yesterday’s playtime.
    thank you for your inspiration….. Karen

    I love the red! Please use more of it, even though you say you don’t usually like doing so. This is a winner among winners. Love the dramatic feel of it that just seems to jump off the card.
