How To:

1. Firstly, you may want to reink your VersaMark pad if it is dry or old. Refill #102193 $3.95 pg 203. 
2. Cut Whisper White cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (which will produce two equal halves),

3. Fold or score cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2",

4. Cut DSP to4 1/4" x 5".
5. Adhere DSP to cardstock front with SNAIL,
6. Rub scrap Whisper White thoroughly with the Embossing Buddy sachet,

7. Stamp images in VersaMark onto Whisper White,
8. Quickly dump Black embossing powder over VersaMarked image while holding over Powder Pal tray, tap off into tray,
9. Use fingernail or cotton swab to quickly remove any stray powder that doesn't tap off,
10. Use Heat Tool to emboss the image to a shiny finish, I recommend doing this under a lamp so you can see when entire image is embossed.
11. Cut around images with paper snips,
12. Adhere with SNAIL,
17. Color in with Stampin Write Markers.
