Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here and today I am showing you a way to step up a simple technique:heat embossing. Combine it with layering stamp sets to create images with extra dimension andshine!
Step 1: Die cut a butterfly and stamp the butterfly image with VersaMark ink pad. Cover thestamped image with Jade Pearl Mboss powder. Heat set with a heat gun. TIP: To achievemaximum coverage, re-stamp the butterfly image using a stamp positioning tool and heat set asecond layer of Mboss powder.
Step 2: This Watercolor Wings stamp set contains many layering images. I stamped the secondlayer with VersaMark ink also, but used the Gold Mboss powder this time instead.
Step 3: Repeat the same steps for the third layer of the butterfly image. I used the Indigo PearlMboss powder for this final layer. It’s a rich blue color that complements the lighter Jade colorvery nicely.This is the final look of the embossed butterfly. I really like the pearl shine from the Jade andIndigo Mboss powders. If you have different colors and types of embossing powder, I highlyrecommend using them with layering stamps!
Step 4: For today’s project, I decided to decorate a gift box instead of making a card. I created abelly band around the box using black cardstock and silver glitter tape. For the thin silver strips,I cut two narrow pieces from the silver glitter tape and colored it with a grey Copic marker. Youcan use any alcohol marker that you have.
I hope you enjoy this simple project and feel inspired to layer embossing powders to create newlooks. I really like this technique and I love experimenting with different color combinations.Thank you so much for stopping by, I’ll see you in my next tutorial!
