BY THE TIDE EMBOSS RESIST

Everybody loves to emboss an image to see the magic appear when it is heated with Stampin’ Up’s Heat Tool.  My customers were thrilled with this fish image from the “By the Tide Stamp Set,” heat embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder, then colored with the Lucky Limeade Marker.  Plus, we all need a WOW card for males (men love embossed images!!) – a perfect match for this stamp set!!  This is a very fast and easy card for a class.

Wish you could see how Mr. Fish sparkles!!
