Versatile Versamark with Daisy Delight

The project for today was made to showcase the versatility of Versamark.  In an recent post I mentioned the things I thought should be basic to everyone's stamping supplies and the Versamark ink pad is definitely on the list.

The images on this card are from a set called Daisy Delight. If you've been reading past posts you saw another card recently posted using this set for a color combo blog hop. You can see that card here.

The colors on this card are much softer and elegant: pink and green with gold highlights.  There's even a gold tint in the Faceted Jewel in the center of the flower. By the way if you get these Gems you're going to love the fact that they're self-adhesive.

The green strip down the side is the part that shows the versatility of the Versamark Ink.

Versamark is a gooey thick ink that has 2 main uses for card-making.  First, its gooey nature makes it a perfect ink to stamp an image that you want to heat emboss.  Sprinkle the powder over the Versamark image and it sticks well enough to hold it in place under the heat tool. The gold leaves on this card were heat embossed.

Second: the ink in the Versamark pad also reacts with paper to leave behind a watermark.  The darker leaves on this strip were stamped in versamark and left to dry. 

The Versamark ink pad is definitely something every paper crafter should own. Links to purchase it and all the product used on this card are at the end of the post.

I hope you've been inspired. Leave a comment about your experiences with Versamark.
