Happy Monday Everyone! I hope your weekend was relaxing and you were able to regenerate so you could start another week fully charged. I taught in Middleburg Heights, Ohio on Saturday and traveled back home on Saturday evening. It was so nice to sleep in my own bed for a change. I was able to wake up, have breakfast with Russ and then see the new Twilight movie. Love it!
If you haven’t noticed, I travel a great deal. Traveling allot made this Stampin’ Up! set “Sentimental Journey” very appealing to me and I just had to have it. My card today showcases how you can use sponged on Versamark that has been heat embossed with clear embossing powder to protect the white of the paper to create clouds and the plane’s exhaust.
Before we get going on the tutorial though I have two announcements to make.
First, I have added the wonderful town of La Porte, Indiana to my Calendar of Cities I will be teaching my Brayer Workshops in. Hope to see you there. 🙂
Second, I have a Lucky Blog Candy winner to announce.

Now in the first 4 photos you are not going to be able to see what I have actually done on the card stock. You will need to look at photo 5 for placement. 🙂
On a 2.5″ x 4.75″ Piece of Whisper White card stock sponged Versamark on the top left and bottom right corners of the card stock. Heat embossed the corners using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Added 2 post it notes and sponged Versamark in the unmasked area to create the exhaust and then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder and a heat gun. Note: leave the post it notes on the card stock until you are done heat embossing.
Removed the masks. Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink on the card stock from the top down. Now you can see the places I heat embossed.
Brayered Pacific Point ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.
Wiped the excess ink off of the embossed images using a paper towel.
Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement, stamped the plane using Basic Black ink.
Stamped the sentiment using Pacific Point ink.
Sponged Not Quite Navy ink around the edges of the card stock.
Added Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Melon Mambo card stock panels.
Also added part of a Tulipe die, die cut from Basic Black card stock, Basic Black brads and pierced to lines of wholes using a piercing tool and the mat pack for placement.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your personal journey be life fulfilling.
Until my next post. . . . . .. .
Hugs,
Michelle
