Technique Tuesday

Scratch and Sniff

Make your cards smell as good as they look- scratch and sniff cards!!

What you will need
-Versamark
-Heat Tool
-Sugarfree drink powder- or other powder without sugar. The Sugar will burn!
-embossing powder- clear works the best.

You will need to mix the colored drink powder with embossing powder. One part drink power to 1 1/2 embossing powder. Try to pick a bright drink powder so the color shows. You can also try to mix with a colored embossing powder but you may end up with odd colors.

Emboss as usual with your new smelly powder using versamark and heat tool.

Finish your card- try different powders such as baby powder or sugar free hot chocolate mix. If you have created a smelly card- email me your photo!! I would love to see other ideas.
