I got to experiment a little this weekend. One of the techniques I've been wanting to try is one I've seen Jennifer McGuire do a few times where you emboss and then iron away the embossing powder. It looks so cool, but I am often too lazy to go get my iron.....however when I was at my friend JJ's house over the weekend, I decided to try it, and I didn't even have to get the iron out, her nice hubby did. ;)
Anyway, I used the largest image from PTI's Circle Scribbles set, embossing it on watercolor paper. Then I colored it in using Peerless Watercolors....another experiment....I've been wanting to try them, and they are really pretty cool. Once that was done, I removed the embossing powder by placing some regular printer paper over it and ironing. Then I stamped the sentiment over top.
I really love the technique, and am plotting some twists on it as we speak.
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: PTI - Smokey Shadow; Watercolor paper
Stamps: PTI - Circle Scribbles, Wet Paint
Ink: Tsukineko - Versamark, Smokey Grey Versa fine
Other: Judikins - Clear Embossing Powder; Peerless Watercolors; Tombow - Mono Adhesive
This is gorgeous! LOVING those colors!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMariam, I do NOT iron but it would be worth getting it out to try this. This is now my current favourite of yours! The water colouring is perfect! Must try....
