Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here with you today and welcome to day ONE of our blog hop with WOW! Embossing Powders. This is such a fun day for me as I’ve been a fan of WOW!’s for quite some time. Getting to play with all of their powders, gorgeous stamps and some foils (that I already had)…what could be better? You’re in for a real treat this week.
I had so much fun with this project. I cut pieces of straw to make little bitty “scoops” so I could easily add the different colors of embossing powder exactly where I wanted it to my inked image (inked with embossing ink on cardstock weight vellum). Super easy!
Once all the powder was where I wanted it I just tapped off the excess. Just like doing any other embossing. This way allows you to be a little more precise with color distribution. Then you heat set it, just like normal.
I cut off a small section of our 4″ x 6″ Adhesive Sheets and pressed that into random areas. This adhesive is STRONG! But by doing this it allowed me to use the WOW! Fab Foils. I pressed the Foils (shiny side up) right over the adhesive and it gives this beautiful, almost painted look. Very random and artistic.
I also used the embossing powder on my resin butterfly. I just pressed it into the embossing ink and sprinkled my powders over the butterfly and heat set. So pretty!
I used the Dodz™ in small to adhere the vellum to the piece of patterned paper. The Dodz™ are easy to hide when you have all that lovely embossing on the front. 😉 Once these two were adhered together I then used my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable to adhere it to another panel. THEN, that was all adhered using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular to give the front vellum piece some added dimension. I used Dodz™ in Medium to attach the butterfly. And wrapped a piece of twine, tied in a bow, and secured in with another Dodz™ in small.
Not hard at all. I hope you all enjoyed my card today and that it gave you some inspiration and maybe got you inspired to try a few new things!
