Artwork by Ali Manning
Technique: Heat embossing/Diamond Dust

Versamark is a brand name and any other clear embossing ink will work just fine. This versatile ink can be used for embossing, resist techniques, watermarking and much more. The design team has come up with some beautiful examples to inspire you and below each piece we've included the technique they used to give you ideas for your projects.

When the challenge closes on November 7, 2010 we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge. In addition, we will pick one random winner, whose work will be featured on the Yahoo Group homepage and in the blog's sidebar.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using Versamark or other clear embossing ink;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on November 9, 2010. You have until November 7, 2010 to enter!
