Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Why buy colored cardstock or specialty card when you can make your own!
Skill: Intermediate
Time: 20 minutes
To make solid color cardstock,
Step 1.
Swipe a panel of white card stock with VersaMark watermark ink. It might be hard to tell if you have good coverage, if you tilt your card panel, you should be able to see a shiny surface where you have inked.
Step 2.
Before the ink dries, pour any colored Mboss powder. Knock off any excess into the original zip-sealed bag.
Step 3.
Then using a heat gun, melt the embossing powder on your panel. And there you have it! Your very own shiny solid color cardstock.
Repeat Steps 1-3 If you missed some spots or if you want some areas to be a little darker. Be careful not to overheat your card.
To take your new cardstock to the next level…
Step 1.
Swipe your embossed panel with VersaMark watermark ink again.
Step 2.
Before the ink dries, pour either Mboss Sparkle Powder or Mboss Iridescent Powder over your panel. Knock off any excess into the original zip-sealed bag.
Step 3.
Then using a heat gun, melt the embossing powder on your panel. Be careful not to overheat your card. Now you’ve taken a plain Mboss powder and given it some extra shine!
