Step 5

Heat powder with heat tool until it melts into a shiny cover. Let cool. 

Step 6

Sponge ink over your cardstock. You can also use a stipple brush or the sponge brayer for this step.

Cover your entire piece of cardstock.

Step 7 (optional)

To add more depth to the stamped images, try adding more in the same color used for sponging.
