Faux Wax Seal by Viki Banaszak

Start with colored hot glue stick and a glue gun. If you don’t want to dedicate a glue gun to colored glue sticks then you can hold a piece of glue stick in place with a tweezers. Ink up your stamp with pigment ink or a clear embossing ink, ahead of time. Squeeze out a glob of glue on a Teflon sheet. And smoosh your inked unmounted stamp into the glue glob being careful not to burn your fingers. If you use a mounted stamp, you will need to use less glue as it will puff around the edges of the stamp. (See Picture 1)

Let the glue cool thoroughly before you attempt to remove the stamp. (See Picture 2)
You can leave the ink as is or buff to remove some at this point.

Attach to black card stock and trim with decorative scissors. Attach a black ribbon on inner edge of the card and then top with a slightly smaller gold ribbon. Add your piece of faux wax seal to the center of the ribbon with silicon glue. (See Picture 6)
