Can you see the sparkle? This technique uses the Smooch Spritz with Versamark and it looks so cool! The sparkle would look really neat with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz as well.

How to: Ink up your stamp with Versamark, then before stamping spray with Vanilla Mist Smooch Spritz and stamp. Cover your stamped image with clear embossing powder and watch the sparkle emerge!

Supplies
Stamps: Medallion, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Versamark, Baja Breeze
Paper: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Vanilla Mist Smooch Spritz, Victoria lace, clear embossing powder, Big Shot, Top Note Die

I started this card with inspiration from Colour Combo CC295 and a new technique. But I cannot for the life of me remember what the technique is called, but it's really cool. On a piece of Whisper White card stock stamp in various colours to make a background, then cover with 3 to 4 layers of clear embossing powder (heat set after each layer). Let it cool for a moment before using the embossing buddy on it then stamp with Versamark with the leaf stamp and apply gold embossing powder. As you heat the gold embossing powder it will melt into the clear layers.

Supplies
Stamps: French Foliage, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Peach Parfait, Versamark, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze
Paper: Peach Parfait, Whisper White, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze
Accessories: large oval punch, stampin' dimensionals, clear and gold embossing powder
