Stained Mosaic Technique

This fun and easy rubber stamping technique gives impressive results!

Supplies needed to create the image panel:

• whisper white cardstock
• inks: Staz On jet black, Versa Mark, Chocolate Chip Classic Stampin' Pad
• markers: creamy caramel, more mustard, close to cocoa, almost amethyst, certainly celery, bordering blue, rose red, brocade blue
• glassy glaze or clear embossing powder
• embossing heat tool

 

• 

 1.  Using leftover rubber (Stampin' Up! clear mount rubber works especially well) create a mosaic on an acrylic block.  Shown is Stampin' Up! block E

2.  Stamp your image in Staz On jet black then color with Stampin' Write markers.

3.  Ink mosaic with VersaMark and stamp over image.
 

 

4. Cover with clear or glossy glaze embossing powder.

5.  Press lightly over image to make sure powder sticks, then tap off excess.

6. Heat with embossing gun until all powder is melted and smooth.

Tip:  Be sure to hold your image off the table when heating so you do not ruin the table.

 

 

7.  Using chocolate chip stamp pad or sponge cover the image with ink making sure to press it down into the cracks.

8. Wipe off ink with paper towel.  The ink will not stick to the embossing powder--only where it touched the cardstock.

9.  Mount and finish your card as desired!
