![]() For the tiny bits that were taking too long to dry, I used a paper towel to speed it up. After I stamped the image, I used my heat tool to dry the ink. I wanted a little more color on the bottom and top edges of the tag, so I added more ink and restamped the image. ![]() If you don't have the spray, you can get the same look by inking the stamp with a Distress Ink pad and then spritzing it with a bit of water before you stamped the image. I then close the MISTI to stamp the image on the paper. Next, I spray the stamp with the Lost Shadow Distress Spray Stain. To do this, I placed the tag into my MISTI and because the stamp is larger than the tag, and I can't use the magnet, I apply a bit of removable adhesive to the back side of the tag to help hold it in place. I then added some stamping to it using the script stamp from the Tim Holtz Entomology Stamp Set. ![]() Next up, I took a piece of Distress Watercolor Paper and die cut it using one of the tag dies from the Nested Tag Die Set. Once I had the outer edge of the card covered with crayon, I tapped my tap my finger into some of the water that was still on my mat then lightly wipe my finger over the surface to gently remove some of the crayon, while revealing the color that has gotten into the cracks and crevices! I only applied the color around the outer edge of the paper because I planned to cover it with my embellishments. You can use a tiny bit of water, if needed, to help move the color around a little easier. I began by coloring onto the embossed paper with the crayon and then used the brush to work the crayon into the embossed design and the cracks and crevices from the embossing glaze. Once all of the powder is melted, you're ready for the next step.the addition of a little grunge!įor this step, I used a Hickory Smoke Distress Crayon, a stencil brush and just a bit of water. As the heat gun warms the powder, the magic starts to happen as the embossing powder begins to melt and become shiny. Next, I used my heat gun to melt the embossing powder, making sure to let the heat gun warm up a little bit before I started and then making sure to keep it moving over the paper and avoiding leaving it in one spot for too long. After doing this, I felt like there was too much of the powder on the paper, so I used my finger to lightly wipe off some of the powder and then returned the excess powder to the jar. You don't need to push hard as you're just trying to get ink onto the raised areas, but if you do push harder and you get more ink, it's totally fine! I then poured the Lost Shadow Embossing Glaze over the paper and tapped off the excess powder. Taking the embossed paper, I rubbed over the surface with an embossing ink pad. Even though I'm not using it that way here, you can still use it to add color to your project. This makes it fun to layer over printed or stamped images. If you aren't familiar with embossing glaze, it's really just embossing powder, but instead of being opaque it's transparent so you can actually see through it. I also used a piece of Mint Tape to hold the die in place since the paper was the same size as the die and I didn't want it to accidentally move as I ran it through the die cutting machine.Īfter embossing the paper I added some color and grunge using the Lost Shadow Embossing Glaze. If you have a different machine, please refer to your machine's instructions for the proper sandwich. The sandwich I used with my Sizzix Foldaway die cutting machine (you can also use this same sandwich with the Sizzix Switch) is as follows: Base plate, Magic Mat, Silicone Mat, Paper, Die, Top Plate. I began with a piece of Distress Watercolor Paper cut to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and embossed it with the Mosaic A2 Die. The first thing I started with was the background.
