Ingredients:

Stamp: Snow Swirled

Cardstock: Whisper White, Gold Metallic, Basic Black

Ink: Basic Black, Versamark

Basic Black Grosgrain ribbon

1 1/4 inch round punch

I didn't have black embossing powder

and I also dislike how it goes all over

the cardstock especially white,

so this is what I do to keep my cardstock clean.

Ink up on versamark and then basic black

this makes your dye ink a temporary

pigment ink image.

If you are doing multiple images you will have

to clean your stamp each time.

I use a dedicated versamark pad for this so

of course it isn't clean after that treatment

I had to try gold embossing and black

Testing to see what works

gold embossed disc

Testing black embossed disc

When I attach ribbons to my card I normally

put the double sided tape on the cardstock.

I always line it up using my craft mat,

more often if I dont line it up it's always

crooked, then its hard to remove the ds tape

As a rule I also adhere the ribbon to

the card if it isn't on top of a layer

then I cut it, I have cut it prior and

it has been short after I tape it down.

Not nice and too hard to fix

What a mess!!

Uh Oh I didnt even take a photo of the finished card

hahahahaha
