Stamped card overlay + patterned paper.

September 11, 2019 - by Gaylynn

Stamped card overlay + patterned paper.

Hello.  It’s Gaylynn with my new series called Technique Time.  Today I am sharing a way to make your own handmade card overlay with stamping.

For these cards, I used two different color variations for stamping.  But the card overlay process is the same.  Here is a look.

Sentiment:  Thanks

Helpful tips:

To begin, I stamped using the Misti stamping tool and a VersaMark ink pad.  Then, I added copper color embossing powder over the VersaMark ink and heat set.  I also stamped and heat embossed a copper sentiment onto vellum.  A second card overlay was stamped with shades of ColorBox ink and then clear embossing powder was used.  The card overlay strips are approximately 1″ wide by 4 1/4″ long.  Finally, to finish, I layered everything and added tiny adhesive gems.

As a bonus, I made a video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.
