Embossing Paste meets Embossing Powder
03/22/2018
Oh My Goodness!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much fun this technique was to make and how beautiful it is. I would have never thought of this idea. Thank God, someone did and was kind enough to share with everyone. I don't remember who I first saw this technique done with, so who ever you are, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don't know if you can see on the picture or not, but I put Copper Embossing Powder over the Embossing Paste and heat set it. It is so fun to make and it is so impressive when it is done. We made these in my technique class and the ladies were crazy about them.
To make this project you are going to need the following products:
Cardstock:
Night of Navy
- cut at 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2"
Whisper White
- cut two at 4" x 5 1/4"
- cut at 2 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Wild Wasabi
- cut at 2" x 3 1/2"
Copper Foil Sheet
- scrap for 1/2" circle
To make this card you have to work kinda fast. You don't want to let the paste dry before you put the embossing powder on it. The first thing I did was put on the Embossing Paste using the brick masks from the Patter Party Decorative Masks. As soon as I had that finished added the copper embossing powder to all of the embossing paste.
I had to put sprinkle the embossing powder over it a couple of times to make sure it adhered the way I wanted it to. You then use your heat gun to warm up the embossing powder so it melts. You will have to hold the heat gun a little bit longer than you do when you use the embossing powder with the VersaMark ink. It is so fun to watch the embossing powder melt into the paste. Such a neat effect!
You will notice on the picture that I did not put the Embossing Paste all over my card, just part of it. You can do whatever you would like to do with yours.
I stamped my sentiment from Lovely Wishes and the flower is from the Delightful Daisy stamp set using the Night of Navy ink. I punched out the daisy with the coordinating punch. I used the Leaf punch that was carried over from the holiday catalog. I sure hope they keep both of those in the new annual catalog which is coming out in June.
For a final touch I added a 1/2" circle from the Copper Foil Sheets and put it in the middle of the daisy. I also stamped the daisy on the inside of my card and on the envelope.
I hope you will give this fun technique a try. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!
