Hello, my crafty friends! Welcome to this weeks demo!!
This week we are inspired my Invisible Ink!! Want to write someone a secret message?? Let’s learn how to create something super special with clear ink, embossing powder, and water color!!
Check out the video here to learn the secrets:
This is such a fun craft to create!! What could you use a secret, invisible message for? A secret party? A happy birthday puzzle? A silly way to let a friend know you love them?
There are SO many fun things you can do with this invisible ink, so let’s learn how!
First, let’s choose what we want our scroll to look like! We have a selection of Stardream, metallic papers to choose from!
It’s so much fun to decorate the borders with some ribbon, let’s choose a couple that match!!
I chose a white iridescent paper and silver and white ribbon!! Attach these ribbons with hot glue so they are nice and stuck!!
Okay, are you ready for our secret tools??
We’ll use a Clear Ink Pen from VersaMarker!! This pen writes in clear ink!!!
When we draw anything with it, the clear ink will let our Clear Embossing powder stick to the spots we drew!!!
Use a heat gun to heat-set teh embossing powder!! You can see it transform from a powdered resin to a surface of clear resin, exactly where you drew with the marker!! How Cool!!!
You can also use this clear ink marker to ink up a stamp!! This heart and this “Happy Birthday” stamp will be perfect for what I am creating!!
You can use any stamp in this way, just make sure it’s nice and clean because any residual ink will be picked up on to the VersaMarker!
Stamp this as normal on to your scroll, emboss, and heat set!!
Now, let’s write our SECRET MESSAGE!!
When you cover this with clear embossing powder and heat set it, you can see it disappear right before your eyes!!!
Time to close our scroll and deliver it to a friend!! Roll up your scroll and we will use this iridescent ribbon and sticker-seal to hold it tight!!
Now this scroll can be hand delivered across the lands to share a secret message with a friend!
Ready to reveal the secret message??
Let’s break out the water colors!!
I love this metallic watercolor palette, it’s so shiny!!
When you pick up the color and paint around the message, the letters magically dodge the paint- leaving you with a colorful message!!
This was such a fun, secret, super fun craft!!
Thanks for creating alongside us! We hope you have fun at your super cool secret invisible party!!
