Today I'm thrilled to be taking part in:
I have chosen to use the stamp set Elegantly Said and the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. These will both be available in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue which will be available from 4th May 2021.
I have a very bad habit of not using the Specialty DSP because it is just so gorgeous! I feel really guilty about it and have been trying to change and have made every effort to #loveitchopit!!!
A technique I picked up years ago is to use multiple embossing powders on the one image. Because the Simply Elegant SDSP looks like it has copper, silver and black in it, I thought it would be a good time to dust it off!
Card Measurements
Card base: 29.7cm x 10.5cm scored at 14.9cm and folded (I used Shimmery White card stock)
1st layer: 14.5cm x 5cm (SDSP)
Scrap for sentiment, matting and flower
Piece of plastic straw cut at an angle
Instructions
- Adhere SDSP to front of card base
- Stamp image on scrap using versamark
- Using the plastic straw, scoop up a little bit of embossing powder and by gently tapping straw add it in the area you want it on the stamped image
- Repeat the last step until you have used your three embossing powders and stamped image is completely covered
- Tip excess embossing powder off into a bin (it's not a lot and it can't go back into the original container as the colours will be all mixed up)
- Heat set embossed image
- Fussy cut image
- Adhere image to front of card base using mini dimensionals
- Stamp sentiment on scrap using memento
- Adhere sentiment to matting
- Adhere matted sentiment to front of card base using mini dimensionals
- Adhere metallic pearls to front of card base
- Stamp image on inside back of card base using memento
I hope you try the multi coloured heat embossing, it's fun and always interesting in how it turns out!
