I was so excited to try the Rose Gold Embossing powder on some kraft card stock. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I stamped the gorgeous sunflower image from Face the Sun in Versamark ink and then covered it with the Rose Gold powder.
Let me show you a close up of the detail. Gah!!! I love it. I finished off the card with a simple sentiment in black ink and added some twine and designer paper along the left side.
I was fortunate to get some pretty new colors of embossing powders to play with too. I don't always reach for color, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to see what they can do. Again, I was not disappointed. The Sea Turtle powder is sooooo pretty and I used it to outline the Pucker Up stamp. The lemon branch image is so good. After I let the embossed image cool down, I added a touch of color with my Copic markers.
For the background I used my Life Changing Blender Brushes to blend on some distress oxide inks in Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade and then did a splattering of the same colors. I cut out the Pucker up image with the matching dies and added some dimension with foam dots.
I was excited to try some solid embossing on a strip of paper and then die cut it. I LOVE the color of the Metalline Himalayn Musk powder. I covered a scrap piece of white card stock with Versamark ink and then poured on the embossing powder. It took a little bit of time to get the full strip to melt, but the powders do a beautiful job of creating a smooth finish. I let it dry and then ran the paper through my die cut machine with the Hello word Die. Look at the shimmer.
