Mary Brockway Here is what I created using the iron off embossing technique:

I stamped the image using VersaMark ink and emboss it using white embossing powder. Now I also want to introduce you to our Tack n Peel. It's amazing stuff, esp. for the stamp which are not mounted. You can re-use it no. of times. Love this product.

Then I sponged some Memento dye ink using our dauber. Now, I used a hot iron and put copy paper over my embossed piece and removed the embossing powder. love the soft effect. For the Guitar, I stamped it using VersaMark ink and embossed using our Verdigris embossing powder onto a piece of vellum. Love this color. Fianally, I stamped the sentiment using Memento Luxe ink and assembled everything together as in the card photo. More info:
