Hi everybody! Welcome back to Day 3 of my Growing in Unity week, that's filled with fun Unity projects, and some of my favorite things, or whatever I found in my craft room, because I'm kind of in limbo between two houses. (lol) If you missed a day, click above and follow along and comment on each day this week to enter to win (2) Unity Stamp Co prizes!
And the crafty adventures continue...
Today's project is another masculine card, because they can be hard to make. I get it, as I have 3 sons, and I'm always looking for new designs and this card is great for many occasions.
Today I'm using some more of my favorite things, like background stamps, some "new to me" Unity Stamps, and more heat embossing techniques!

Today's project is another masculine card, because they can be hard to make. I get it, as I have 3 sons, and I'm always looking for new designs and this card is great for many occasions.
Today I'm using some more of my favorite things, like background stamps, some "new to me" Unity Stamps, and more heat embossing techniques!
On this card I used "She Sells Sea Shells" Background stamp, because it's a favorite of mine for so many great projects.
I placed the stamp in my MISTI stamping tool, inked it up with Versamark clear ink, stamped on an ivory piece of cardstock, removed from the MISTI, sprinkled with blue distress embossing powder, and heat set.
Now I will tell you, distress embossing powder is different, as it says it's "weather worn" and not shiny, glaze, or opaque. Once it's heat set, it feels almost gritty like sand. It's old, but still works. It's the original distress powders we all have in our stash.
But it turned out really kind of cool and fit with my beachy, nautical theme.
Next I placed a piece of white cardstock in my MISTI, inked it up with Ranger Distress Oxide ink-Faded Jeans, removed from the MISTI, sprinkled with clear embossing powder, and heat set. This one is shiny!
Then I stamped Ranger Distress Oxide ink-Faded Jeans on white cardstock for the sentiment with clear embossing powder too!
Don't you just love the "magic" of heat embossing?
I love this technique when you have endless colors of "thick" or pigmented inks, but not all the pretty embossing powder colors.
This one I call Clear/Distress (clear ink/distress embossing powder)
for the background.
and Color/Clear (colored pigment ink/clear embossing powder)
for the lighthouse image and the sentiment.
