Have you tried this fun technique before?
Technique...
Let's use the Black Ice Technique to make some stunning cards.
Directions for the Black Ice Technique:
- Using Stazon Ink, stamp your image onto foil cardstock.
- Colour in the image if you choose, with Stampin' Blends markers.
- Swipe the Stazon Ink on the outside edges of the foil, to create an antique look. You can also do this on your cardbase as well.
- Drag your Versamark Ink pad lightly across the foil, in one complete motion from top to bottom.
- Emboss with Clear Embossing powder and a heat tool.
- Assemble your card as prefered.
The Card:
The Measurements:
Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, folded in half
Layer 1 - 3 3/4 x 5
Layer 2 - 2 3/8 x 4 3/8
Mat Layer - 2 1/8 x 4 1/8
Foil Layer - 2 x 4
Card Insert - 4 x 5 1/4
The Directions:
- Follow the Black Ice Technique above for the foil portion.
- Emboss Layer 1 with the Tin Tile embossing folder. Drag the Stazon ink across it to emphasize the raised portions. Glue this layer to the center of the cardbase.
- Glue Layer 2 to the center of the Tin Tile cardstock on the card base.
- Adhere the vellum doily to the top right portion of the card base, over top of Layer 2.
- Attach the Mat Layer to the foil piece. Put dimensionals on the back of the Mat layer and attach it to the bottom right area of the card base.
- Using Versamark, stamp your sentiment and emboss it with Whisper White embossing powder. Bubble cut around the sentiment. Attach it to the card base.
- Lastly, place three pearls in the top left hand corner.

- Using Versamark ink, stamp the sentiment and emboss with Gold Embossing Powder and the Heat tool. Bubble cut out the sentiment and place dimensionals on the back.
- Punch out a piece from the center of the Mat Layer, using the Classic Label Punch. Glue this onto the bottom right corner of the foil layer.
- Attach the sentiment over top of the punched out piece.
- Glue the Mat Layer to the foil layer and put dimensionals on the back.
