Hey there! I tried a fun new technique for one of my SWOW class projects – Sprinkled Embossing! Lookie:
These pictures really don't do it justice, but it's still quite pretty!
I used the Holiday Catalog set, Calm Christmas, with the Circles Collection Framelits and Champagne Glimmer Paper.
Sprinkled Embossing is a variation of traditional heat embossing: stamp your image with Versamark, then instead of sprinkling the image with just one color, you use your fingers or a small spoon to sprinkle the image with several colors of powder, tap off the excess, then heat! I didn't hold the stamped image over the powder containers as I sprinkled like I usually do, I held it over a paper plate instead. The mixed colors of leftover powder can either be discarded or used together on another image to achieve a totally different look! I used Gold for the olive branch, then Pool Party and Tempting Turquoise for the bird. At first I thought I should sprinkle sparingly, but I wasn't very happy with the result. My next try I sprinkled heavily and was very pleased!
This card is really gorgeous in real life! I wish you could see it for yourself!
That's all for now. I'm hoping to be able to get in to see a dr at a walk-in clinic Saturday so I can start getting rid of this annoying sinus infection and cough I've been dealing with for several days.
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
