How awesome is that! And just wait till you check out the technique that's required for this month's challenge. How amazing does this technique look and why have I not discovered it before?
Here's my card and first try out of layering embossing powders:
I started by stamping and heat embossing in white the gorgeous Winnie & Walter Bed of Roses background stamp. I then swiped it over with versamark ink - luckily the stamp pad just fitted perfectly - and heat embossed it with hologram powder. I repeated this to give another layer and amazing depth of glitter.
I die cut this panel into a stitched rectangle and then used a stack of three thanks diecuts on top. Check out all the sparkle in the photo below!
Supplies:
Stamps: Winnie 7 Walter, Mini Scenery Bed of roses
Inks: Versamark clear + Ranger superfine white & Funstamps hologram embossing poders
Dies: MFT Dienamics, double stitched rectangles; Lawn Fawn, Scripty Thanks
So now it's over to you. There are several tutorials on you tube about this technique and a few different ways to achieve it. Go take a look and then get busy!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Jane! But it took me a while to understand that you worked with blue card stock. Until then I couldn't understand how you got the blue glitter between white embossed lines. Excellent technique! And congrats on being a GD at CAS Mix Up! - Sweet Kobylkin
