Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

• Happy New Year! Highlights video from my home office visit for MDA

  Today is my New Catalog Open House and BOGO sale; I am so excited to be able to offer the wonderful deals to my local customers.  It's from 1-3:30 pm in my Minot ND studio.

  If I have lots leftover I may offer them to my long distance customers.  We'll see how it goes!

  This last year has been an incredible one for me as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  The highlight was achieving the Million Dollars in sales Achievement.  Stampin' Up! makes a big deal of it and I enjoyed every minute of the two days spent in Utah!  

  Here's a short video of my trip to the home office in Riverton, Utah.  I was SO nervous but honestly everyone there is so kind and lovely we had a wonderful time and after my 'speech' all was good! 

  Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my 14 year journey. Whether you are a customer, follower, Flowerbug's Team member, fellow demonstrator, friend or anything else; you helped make this fun and rewarding! 

  I love what I do and appreciate you all!
