Tips and Techniques:
Tearing: To make tearing the black cardstock easier, use a wet q-tip to trace the line you want to tear upon. This will help make your tearing easier and more uniform!
Embossing: For the embossed black paper, start by wiping black cardstock with a used dryer sheet. This will help prevent the embossing powder from sticking where it doesn't belong! Next, stamp your swirls using the embossing stamp pad. This has no color, but dries slowly to allow time for you to place your embossing powder. Next, sprinkle white embossing powder generously onto your stamped images. Give the back of the cardstock a good flick to dislodge any stray grains of powder on your paper. Heat using your heat gun until powder melts and becomes shiny.
