Bugaboo Tutorial~ Heat Embossing w/Colored Ink and Clear Embossing Powder

Good Morning Bloggers!!

Today is my day to share a tutorial for

Bugaboo Stamps and I thought I would share something that I just recently

learned how to do myself...

 this is not my idea....

just something I learned from another crafter that I thought I would share because it is something I have began using more and more myself!!

Heat emboss using an ink pad and clear embossing power!

Here is the card I made using this technique.

The backgound polka dots are heat embossed as well as the sentiment :) 

So this is how you do it..

You need a few basic items...

versamark embossing ink, a colored ink pad~ I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Gathered Twigs,

cardstock and your stamp, mine is My Creative Time~from the Build a Banner kit

You also need a heat tool and of course Embossing Powder~

I use my favorite from

Creative Inspirations Paint~ Deliquesce Clear

So you begin by inking up your stamp with the versamark

Then right over the Versamark, ink up with the colored ink pad

Using the doubled up ink,

Stamp it on your paper

It should look just like it does when you emboss

and/or stamp

Next you want to cover your stamped image with the clear embossing power,

once covered shake off all the extra and put back into your container

Final step is to use your heat tool and heat up the embossed image...

TaDa...that is all there is to do!!
