TUESDAY IS MY DAY FOR SHARING TECHNIQUES & TIPS

I have another black and gold project to share with you today.

The technique I am featuring is EMBOSSING – both dry and heat embossing.

I am using the new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (166145 $21AUD).

To prepare for this card I embossed two panels of Basic Black card. Then I applied Versamark to one and sprinkled WOW Gold Embossing Powder across it. I still love watching the powder ‘melt and turn into a shining gold feature.

I added a gold foil panel to the Basic Black card base before placing the embossed black layer.

Then I fussy cut some of the gold embossed sunflowers.

TIP: When heat embossing run an embossing buddy over the card to ensure that more Versamark adheres to the card. Then sprinkle the powder over the card, above an embossing tray. Use a fine paint brush to dust away any powder that is sitting in an area where it shouldn’t.

The fussy cut sunflowers were positioned on the embossed layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Choose Happy Stamp Set (163701 $37AUD).

THIS IS NOT THE STAMP SET I USED – IT SHOULD BE A PHOTO INCLUDING THE CHOOSE HAPPY STAMP SET.

The Christmas greeting was stamped using StazOn Jet BLack ink onto some gold foil. Then I used a banner die, from the stylish Shapes Dies, to cut the greeting.

The banners were then added to the card front using dimensionals.

With all the bright, bold gold I decided not to add any more bling.

What do you think?

Tomorrow I will have another gold project to share. I will be using the Metallic Textures Run-ons again.

Until then, happy stamping.
