Embossing Powder Take Two!

Embossing Magic Part Two:

Hey bloggers! Carla Mayfield here from Holyoke, Colorado with another fun challenge for you.

2012 is here! That's cause for celebration, don't you think? I have been stamping for twelve years now, and one thing I never tire of is heat embossing, so that's what your second challenge for the new year is! Anything goes as long as you have heat embossing using adhesive somewhere visible on your design.

Here's my heat embossed project for some inspiration. I used red line tape stuck diagonally across the card. Why go to all this trouble? Wouldn't just stamping and embossing be easier? Doesn't A Muse Studio have a fabulous set called Mad For Plaids that would work just as well? In a word: yes. However, this technique is much more dimensional, and the embossing powder doesn't melt in the same way it does on top of VersaMark. Besides, you know you have tons of adhesives laying around, why not give it a go?

I used the sweet ice cream soda glass from Sweet Love stamped twice and colored with Copics. If you don't have a perfect white embossing powder, may I recommend a|s's white? It comes in a big jar, and has beautiful white coverage. I've never used better, and I have LOTS of brands of EP.

This close-up does a little better job showing the dimension of this technique. I made my primary image small to highlight the fixy background.
