Another reason to always use the clear embossing powder is that if you use two or more different colors of ep over top of each other (like your brown and soft sky colors are here), the embossing powders end up "blending" together and the images get all messed up even if you do each color of your embossing one at a time... If it is all clear ep then there is no running or melting together of colors since the color is in the ink not the powder. This is the voice of experience here! lol Anyway, LOVE your card.

Do you mix them in the container or do you just stick with one brand and always get that. Laurie, I don't stick to any one brand. I do buy very fine clear embossing powder. When my container gets low I just buy another and dump it in. Laurie asked “do you find different embossing powders give you different results?

Ladies, I keep a computer file of thumbnail sized images that I have viewed on the internet. Mostly of art or photos that inspires me. I usually draw my inspiration from multiple pieces thumbnails. I'll take a color combo from one, a layout from another. This way I am not copying any one piece of art completely. I'll switch up the layout by moving images around, but keep the same sense of feeling that I liked about the piece in the first place. Clear as mud? I'll also draw inspiration from a stamp I want to use. I guess it varies as to were my inspiration comes from.

I so appreciate your tutorials, and that you answer our questions. I had also wondered if doing the Versamark on a Classic pad would affect the Classic pad at all (not wanting to have to get extra pads!), and you have answered that question already. I love all the techniques you use, especially all the brayering. You turn ordinary rubber stamping into an art form. Now to find some time to try it all! Thanks for all that you do to inspire us.

This has so much texture, it just jumps off the page! It looks just like brown velvet on a piece of pale blue linen. I would love to know where your inspiration for this card came from as well. I would guess a beautiful piece of fabric. thanks for all the instructions as well - I'm kind of technique-shy in that I find they take a lot of time but don't always pay off with great results. You've inspired me to try this technique again, however. Alison What an amazing piece of art! This has so much texture, it just jumps off the page!
