Constant Heart Baked Textures Card, how to make it—

Place the blank card in the MISTI and use the black ink to stamp the music piece and sentiment onto the card front.

Make a watery wash of black ink and use the water brush to spatter it onto the card front.

Brayer across the embossing ink pad and roll it randomly across the card front, over the music piece. Sprinkle with Vintage Beeswax embossing powder on top. Tap off the excess and heat set.

Use the embossing ink to stamp the heart collage onto white cardstock, then sprinkle with Patina Oxide. Heat set. Press the embossing ink pad directly onto the piece and sprinkle with Vintage Beeswax. Heat set. Repeat to get a second layer of Vintage Beeswax.

Ink the edges with the embossing ink pad and dip the edges into the Patina Oxide embossing powder. Heat set.

Stamp the heart collage onto white cardstock with black ink. Press the embossing ink on top and sprinkle with Vintage Beeswax. Heat set, then cut out the heart.

Layer the card together: Glue a loop of hemp twine behind the Patina Oxide layer and adhere it to the card front with foam tape. Add the cut out heart with foam tape. Tie a bow in hemp twine and glue it as shown.

So easy, and fun! For more ideas on how to use these gorgeous embossing poweders, be sure to check out Seth’s blog at The Altered Page.
