Neon Technique Dragonfly Card — Colored Embossing Powder Trick
Making this Neon Technique Dragonfly Card uses a fantastic colored embossing powder trick! Save money on colored embossing powders with this one trick that I’ll show you in my newest video!
I LOVE using embossing powder. It may be my favorite technique and I use a lot of powder!
Likewise, a decent chunk of my craft budget goes for pretty colors, but I found an easy way to not only create the same colored effect without the expensive powders but also to match your projects!
I made a video showcasing my Colored Embossing Powder Trick, and of course use it to make some fun cards.
I wanted to show you how easy it is to create this Neon effect!
Accordingly, see below to learn the technique that saves me lots of money on colored embossing powders:

Want the quick idea of this technique in written form? Read below:
- Stamp with Versamark onto black paper (or any dark paper, but I like the contrast of black)
- Sprinkle with white embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat until it’s shiny.
- Next, color your image with an alcohol marker. You don’t need to worry about being precise on your image because you won’t see you colored ink on the black paper!
- REHEAT your image to bring the shine back.
- Optional: you can recolor and reheat if you want your color to be deeper.
- Lastly, re-ink your image with Versamark, sprinkle with CLEAR embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat until it’s shiny.
