Sorry I'm a little late with today's, ohps yesterday's post but I've been rather busy 🤪
But here it is a card using the fun Curved Occasions stamp set. The tip I'm sharing with you today is about holographic paper and stamping on it.
My first top tip is to remember that holographic paper is one of those papers that has a nonporous surface and as such many inks will just sit on top and not dry. My tip is to use versamark and heat emboss your image. No this can be tricky so always use a scrap to practice on first. As the surface is slick there is a tendency for thw stamp to slip so make sure to go straight fown then up when stamping. Also heat from behind to try and preserve the holographic side. It's not always goingnto work so check by practicing first.
The second way to stamp onto a shiny surface is to use an ink pad like stazon. Stazon is a solvent based ink that works well on nonporous surfaces. But the slipy surface rule of straight up and down still remains. The ink will also not dry immediately so be patient it's not too long a wait.
Anyway here's the card ...
