The technique for this challenge is layered embossing which gives such a richness, depth and vibrancy of colour. If you've never tried this technique before - and I hadn't until this challenge - I really recommend you have a play, you'll be delighted with its look.
For this reminder post I've used Uniko stamps and a Winnie & Walter die and given them a fresh new look that really sparkles and shines.
I stamped and coloured the Uniko bloom and then die cut it plus a couple of plain layers. I then swiped a Versamark ink pad all over before heat embossing using hologram powder. I repeated this embossing technique two more times.
The happy die cut was treated in much the same way, except that I use pearl plum embossing powder for the first layer and then the hologram powder for the next two layers. I just love how sparkly and bold the effect of this technique is.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Originally Organic, Originally organic additions, Simply Said Birthday
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black; Versafine, clear + Funstamps embossing powder, pearl plum & hologram; SU, elegant eggplant
Dies: Winnie & Walter Cutaways, happy
Pens: Copic, V15, V17, BG32, BG34
