This card uses a technique I had never tried before the last round of VSN: Scratch and sniff! There's a great tutorial for the technique on SCS, but the quick and dirty of it is that you mix Kool-aid (the plain stuff, no sugar or artificial sweetener) with clear embossing powder, and emboss as usual. For this card, I stamped the margaritas, colored them with Copics, then highlighted the limes and the margarita slush in the glasses with my embossing pen, then embossed them with a mix of clear EP and lemon-lime Kool-aid. It worked pretty well, even though the amount of stuff actually embossed is pretty small. You can still smell the citrus scent, though.Supplies:
Stamps: $1 margarita, Lots of Thoughts (SU)
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Copics, cool caribbean
Paper: pretty in pink, gable green, cool caribbean, Euphoria DP from Basic Grey, Neenah classic crest solar white
Accessories: tag punches, slot punch, ribbon, EP, Kool-aid, corner rounder
