When embossing with white embossing powder on a white or watercolor paper with a clean VersaMark ink pad it is difficult to see where the ink is until the powder is on it. With this card I wanted to stamp three of the same images across the top, alternating the position. I tried this with the single image on an acrylic block, but as you will see in the video, they were not level. So, how could I get them level every time?! I thought about using the MISTI, but then had to figure out where to put the stamp so that it didn't move, but the paper would. In this video, I share how to accomplish this and you will see that the leaf image is well lined up across the paper.

It's been awhile since I've done anything, but now that I have a new hip, maybe my stamping will improve! LOL Anyway, I just made this card using the This Little Piggy set from Stamping' Up and wanted to share with you. The background is a discontinued stamp, because I didn't have a newer "geometric" one. I think the card needed either stripes or some geometric background, so whatever you want to use will work as long as it isn't too detailed. This pig is so happy rolling in the mud that I had to share him, a way to use the stamp in a different way than it was meant to be used.
Anyway, enjoy, and don't forget to give it a "thumbs up!" on YouTube!
