Mmmmm, orange

I've been wanting to try the scratch and sniff technique for a while now. When I saw the Tart & Tangy stamp set in the Occasions mini catalog, I knew it was the perfect time! This is a project I planned for my stamp clubs. I had a little trouble finding the right mix of embossing powder and koolaid, but finally struck the right balance. I didn't have any Only Orange craft ink, so I used a tip I picked up at Splitcoaststampers - use Versamark with classic ink and ~voila~ it's orange AND sticky and the embossing powder worked great. Just be sure to clean off your stamp between uses so you don't get ink in your Versamark pad.
