Playing with Embossing Powders

Hello crafters, 

This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Gail is "What makes you happy". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

Many things make me happy in crafting but playing with embossing powders is high on the list!

The focal point are die cut flowers Sizzix/Tim Holtz Tim Holtz Alterations Thinlits Die Set - Wildflower Stems #2, coloured with Distress inks.

For the background, I used a DIY stencil (Papertrey Ink Cover Plate Circles Die PTD-0337) and Wow embossing supplies, creating an ombre look diagonally:

It is very difficult to see in the pictures but these embossing powders have a matte look to them, as opposed to the usual glossy look, but they also have glitter in them which catches the light. The photo below is the best I managed, zoom to see the glint of the glitter!

  

I used Wow foil in gold to create a border on my card with thin double sided tape, and a die-cut sentiment (STAMPlorations) finishes the card.
