Technique #2 Ink Refill Float:

Emboss your image then use your ink refills and your water painter brush to float the color on the water. As it dries your image will have different shades of color!

Embossing Folders create beautiful backgrounds – when you use 2 embossing folders it doubles the beauty!

    I am wondering how you got so much white looking ice on the technique 4 black ice card above the one with the cabin
    I have done this technique and went heavy on the versamark but is there anything else you did to get that look? I have never seen another card with that much “ice”
    I really want to make a similar card and am determined to have mine look close to yours
    any words of advice you can give me

      The Black Ice comes from the ink pad. As you drag it across the cardstock have it at an angle when you lightly drag it. It will be heavier on the edges. I hope that helps you!
