GO GREEN!! ARTFULCRAFTING CHALLENGE 7-HEAT EMBOSSING

So my hands were itching to try this technique i saw on Jennifermcguireink youtube channel….Distressinks plus iron off embossing.

I love Jennifermcguire tutorials they are great!

I thought to enter this as a second entry in Artful Crafting Challenge #7. This is the card i came up with…not as pretty as in the videos but a good first try 😉

The pictures dont do Justice to the Card its really shimmery in actual 😉

I heat embossed a BoBunny doily stamp multiple times in clear embossing powder to create a background on Strathmore watercolor paper.

i then randomly applied Pumice Stone, Evergreen Bough, Barn Door and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks (All of which are available at Artful Crafting and at sale prices too !!)

I then took a Mister bottle and added some pearl powder i had lying around in my stash into plain water to make my own Shimmer mist. I spritz the inked cardstock generously with water to kind of blend all the inks together and let it dry on its own completely.

After misting with Water

The Cardstock after being completely dry…look at the golden shimmery effect love it!

I then covered the cardstock with normal typing paper on both sides and used an Iron to iron off the clear embossing powder to get a sort of white bleached look.

the bleached look

I then embellished the card with some Spellbinders diecuts, punched butterflies and mulberry flowers and used my wink of stella brush pen in silver to add more Shimmer. here are a few more closeups.

       

i stamped a sentiment and heat embossed it in gold. i adhered the cardstock to a turquoise card base.

I hope you like this Card 😉
