Design Team Monday!

Monday is here again and that means the team is back for another round of reveals.  This week, is a technique challenge.  It is all about the Embossing!

Julie


Here is a sample of using an embossing folder on cardstock and then highlighting the raised images with ink


This closeup shows an example of using heat embossing on the flag banner. The cardstock was inked and then covered with embossing powder. Using a heat gun to melt the powder gave a shiny silver finish.


Products used for "Stars" layout include:
Bazzil Basics Paper Half the Edge cardstock strips
pom pom trim
BoBunny chipboard circle
Misc letters, small gems and cardstock

I embossed the green card stock on the backgroud of the pictures using a cuttlebug embossing folder. Then I used ink and lightly brushed it over the raised part of embossing. To add a little more definition to the embossed area, I traced the embossing with my Sakura glitter pen.

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
Sakura Glitter Pen
Tim Holtz Distressing Ink - Shabby Shutters
Bazzill Half the Edge - Pink
