Enameling Technique
Instructions:
1. The first color in your "recipe" is always applied covering the entire paper (or object). Take your clear embossing ink and
rub it over the entire object. Then dust with the first color,knock off excess powder and heat to set.
2. Next dab the sea sponge in clear embossing ink and randomly pounce lightly on piece. Drizzle on second color of powder.
(You do not want to over coat card with second and subsequent colors). Knock off excess. Heat to set.
3. Continue adding color with "sea sponge method", randomly adding powder and heating to set each time.
4. Your next to last color will be your "highlight color". This is the color set behind your stamp to accent it.
TIP: Be VERY sparing with any metallic powders you use. They like to "hog the show" and will take over a card or piece if you
let them.
5. Just before stamping your image that will be covered with black powder, dust card lightly but coveringly with anti-static
powder. This will allow the black powder to stick only where you want it to. :)
6. Last, generously load your stamp with the pigment ink and stamp image, being careful not to slide it as you are working on a
slick surface. Pour on the black powder and knock off excess. If you accidentally smudge your image, you can wipe the powder
off at this point and repeat Instructions 5 & 6 again. when you achieve the image you want, heat your black powder. M&M (Melt
and Move). As soon as it glosses, move on. If you stay in one place too long it will fade into your previous colors.
TIP: Be sure your heat tool is hot before setting your powder. A warm heat tool simply warps your CS and will cause your colors
to blend more than you would like.
