I used a super cute stamp that I got at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More that I've had for ages but it hadn't seen ink before!

Card Recipe:

Paper - Basic Grey Life of The Party
Medium - Copic Markers
Die Cut - Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle
Border Punch - Martha Stewart Edger Scallop Dot
Brads - The Paper Studio
Sentiment - KI Memories
Ink - Tsukineko VersaFine Onyx Black
Embossing Powder - Ranger Super Fine in Clear
As this was a clear stamp I like to use Versafine ink as opposed to Memento as I think it gives a much clearer and cleaner stamped image. However Versafine and Copic's don't like each other much so to stop the ink bleeding I just gave it a quick coat of clear embossing powder and heat set it. I will admit that I really like the raised finish on an embossed image and so the extra couple of steps are worth it me.
I hope you've liked this and I hope that Blogger doesn't have any more big problems looming!
Have a wonderful Saturday and be sure to drop by tomorrow for a card for Pile It On!
