My issue was with trying to put the versamark in onto the top of the embossed piece. Using a pad directly just wasn't cutting the mustard. So out came my brayer and yeah - success.
I used a grey card and dry embossed it. Using the brayer gets a nice layer of the versamark just on the raised embossed areas. I used an embossing powder called Poly Sparkle. It's super fine sparkly powder. After heating it appeared greeny. In real life it looks stunning. I made the piece the main focus of the card by just adding a little banner sentiment and some pink gems.
I also try out the technique on some dark blue card. I used an embossing folder with snowflakes.
I decided to make the embossed piece into a Christmas card with the addition of a Hero Arts Snowman and a sentiment die cut with a WPlus9 die. I used a Copic marker to colour it up... added some Wink of Stella and some Glossy Accents. The little snowflake is from the same WPlus9 die set.
This will be a technique that I will be using again.

What a fun technique--I'll have to try it! I've inked an embossed piece, but never did heat embossing. Thanks for the tip about using the brayer.
I like that technique, for sure.
Your embossed cards are beautiful Dawn, I love the sparkly powder it is stunning. Anet x
