Shark Bait Layout Closeup

Did you know you can heat emboss over the Metallix Gel?  I didn’t either until I tried it!  I thought the Metallix in White Pearl would be a great base for the Mermaid Tails stamp from Joy Clair.

Shark Bait Layout Details

Spread the Metallix Gel over a sheet of card stock with the Stencil Pal.  Once dry, then stamp with Versamark ink, use embossing powder of your choice and carefully heat emboss.  In addition, make sure to continually move your heat tool while embossing. Once heat embossing is completed, color in sections using Zig Clean Color markers.

Next, to give your title a little punch, adhere partially with tape, then raise and curve the center section by using 3D Foam Squares and/or Strips.

Deco Foil Flock

Finally, add images that you have stamped and colored to complete your layout.  Also, add Deco Foil Flock to elements and embellishments that came with your paper collection.  Below, I added the Deco Foil Flock in Blue Diamond to the seaweed plant using a Deco Foil Glue pen.
