3. Stamp “celebrate” sentiment in Versafine Onyx ink on one piece of Saffron cardstock towards bottom

Amuse Studio Eat Cake

Amuse Studio's Eat Cake stamp set works so nice using the chalkboard technique.  I used a Versamark ink pad with white embossing powder and the heat tool.  Be sure to prepare your onyx black cardstock using the static magic pouch to reduce the extra flecks of embossing powder.  

I love that every one of the sentiments in the set are ones that I would actually use!!   In this card I made a collage of several of the words included in the set.

Do you want to find out how you can earn this exclusive stamp set during the month of May?  Please contact me to set up a workshop!
