Now have you ever had cardstock buckle after a layer of embossing? So much that the embossing cracks? Well, me too... For this project I wanted to make sure there would be no buckling so I selected a hard and thick surface, a Tando Wavy Arch.
I used a technique shown by Trish Latimer here. I applied several colours of embossing powders in layers finishing with a WOW Blue Pearl in combination with a stencil and detail white with a Paper Artsy stamp (Hot Pick ESN10). At this stage as there is quite a thick coat of EP the surface turns liquid and it's difficult to keep the details. Still I managed to get the effect I wanted and I had LOTS of fun doing it!
And another pic so you can see the Blue Pearl in action:
I am also entering the Craft Barn and Tando challenges.
Thanks for coming by,

ReplyDeleteso this is made up all out of embossingpowder? neat
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, well done creating a super miniature project.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, the colours are beautiful and three dimensional. xx
ReplyDeleteElle est chouette ton arche Christine, moi aussi j'aime beaucoup cette technique de multi-embossage!.. Après je trouve ça difficile à réaliser car parfois, en refondant on perd les détails comme tu le dis, et du coup c'est parfois un peu décevant. J'ai eu ce pb avec mes 3 lettres ART mise sur ma boite à mouchoirs dernièrement, elles restent belles mais en refondant l'utee clear et le doré sur les bords j'ai perdu en précision et en finesse, j'ai presque regretté sur le coup d'avoir ajouté de la poudre transparente ahah!! Bisous et souhaitons nous bonne chance à toutes les 2! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice, love the quote! Thank you for joining in the Tando challenge.

This is fabulous! Such a cool technique that looks awesome! xxx
ReplyDeleteWow you did well to get that quote looking perfect on top of the rest of the embossed layers. I know how that can turn to blur so easily in a blink ! Nice layers.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colours! This turned out fab, well done!
