Marvellous Metallics
Last week I used foil sheets and embossing folders to provide interesting focal panels. This week, I’m still embossing but using metallic embossing powder and heat. I love using the metallic powders on dark card stock, especially the heating part - watching the powder melt and transform from matt granules to glorious shine! Line style stamps work best for this technique so I decided an outing for the floral elements of Tea Together was in order. I began by generously applying the Embossing Buddy over my Basic Black card front to remove static and oils from my fingers which would attract the embossing powder. Next, I random stamped the various images using Versamark, rotating them and stamping off the edge too. I also stamped another small flower on a scrap of black card, the sentiment and the large rose onto the liner. I then applied gold embossing powder to the stamping and heat set it. For my mat layer, I didn’t have enough...
