Materials:

ColorBox 2 pigment ink option plates*
Paintbox 2 pigment ink pads
clear embossing powder
heat tool
assorted papers (cover stock thickness recommended)
rubber stamps

*These removable plates allow you to apply inks directly onto the paper surface. You can achieve a variety of effects by brushing, dabbing, or swirling.

Steps:

  1. Snap out pads from holder and press onto card. The pad has a handle on the back and acts as a paintbrush.
  2. After the desired results are achieved, cover with clear embossing powder and heat until card has an enameled appearance.


Note: This process can be repeated a number of times to create more layers of color, add stamped images, or create a thicker, more enameled card.
