How to Emboss In Any Ink Color

Begin by rubbing the DIY embossing buddy over the prepared card base or area you are planning to emboss. Choose a stamp to use.

Ink your stamp with Versamark ink. Do not stamp yet. Next, ink the same stamp in the color of your choice (I used Just Jade for the wreath card). Stamp onto the prepared area.

Next, sprinkle clear embossing powder over top. Tap off any extra powder.

Use the heat tool to heat set the stamped area.

There you have it! A beautifully heat embossed card using the color of your choice!

Emboss Multiple Colors Using This Technique

If you’d like to emboss using multiple colors on one stamped image, here’s how. Ink your stamp with versamark, then use the baby wipe technique to ink your stamp with color.  Complete the process as described above.
