Here are two examples of the black ice technique that is going around the stamping community. I know the images are on the dark side but I was going for you to be able to see the shine on the cards.
What you need for this technique is archival ink, versa mark ink, clear embossing powder and some kind of foil paper. In my examples I used gold and silver foil paper.
First you streak the foil paper with the black ink and you do this with a very light hand. Allow the ink to dry or zap it with your heat gun. Then you streak the stamped foil paper with versa mark ink and then coat with clear embossing powder. Again use your heat tool on the embossing powder and you will get a texture like black ice on the road. I have also seen this technique where the design is colored in. You can do this by using alcohol markers, you would just color in the design after using the versa mark ink and embossing powder.
