Instructions
For today’s project, I’ve created a unique background/image by heat embossing in layers. This provides depth and texture, without adding bulk.
Step 1: Treat Wendy Vecchi Perfect Cardstock White Panel with Anti-Static Pouch. Place Labels Layering Stencil over panel, and using Tim Holtz Blending Tool, apply Emboss It Clear Ink through stencil. Remove stencil, apply Bubbly embossing powder, and emboss with heat gun.
Step 2: Using Perfect Medium Pen, color random portions of embossed pattern, apply Princess Gold Embossing Powder and emboss with heat gun.
Step 3: Place embossed panel in stamping platform. Stamp floral image using Archival Black Ink, apply Super Fine Detail Clear Embossing Powder and emboss with heat gun.
Step 4: Mask off embossed panel, apply Black Soot Distress Ink with Tim Holtz Blending Tool.
Step 5: Trim panel down and adhere to Wendy Vecchi Perfect Cardstock White Card, add machine stitching to left and right sides of the panel. Adhere sentiment from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Silhouette Birds Stamp & Stencil Mixed Media set.
