Technique Sunday and Sneak Peek

ADDED after posting:

I had taken some additional pictures of the card above, because I really wanted to show off the use of the magnetic die (inside the Movers & Shapers die). So here are some more views for you to enjoy:






The how to on this technique is so very easy... all you need to do is, stamp an image in VersaMark ink on white cardstock and dab Pastels (Chalk) over it to make the image POP. You do want to seal the image with either a cheap aerosol hairspray or fixative...

Have fun stamping and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
