Supplies:
Radiant Pearls
Vellum papers of various colors
Tan colored card stock
Sage green colored card stock
Clear fine embossing powder
Copper detail embossing powder
Silver detail embossing powder
Black detail embossing powder
Black hot melt glue
Silver hot melt glue
Copper MetalXtra ink pad
Whiska Stippler brush
All images are stamped and embossed using the following technique. Using the
Whiska Stippler, whisk Radiant Pearls onto the stamp. Press stamp onto
paper. Sprinkle with a pinch of metallic and or black detail embossing
powder adding a little here and there, shake off excess. Coat with clear
fine embossing powder. Shake off excess. Heat and melt powder. The pinch of
metallic slightly gilds the images and lets the Radiant Pearls shimmer and
color show through. The pinch of black adds a touch of patina and age to the
gilding.
The woman's face used copper, black and clear embossing powders.
The words used only clear embossing powder.
The Celtic-like circle designs only used clear embossing powder.
Marbling the paper used silver, black and clear embossing powders.
Cut, tear and layer the stamped images. Use Spray Mount or Double Stick
Sheeting (such as Xyron or 3-M). Using two hot melt glue guns, add a dollop
of black and drizzle of silver glues to the card. Ink up the Yin-Yang stamp
with Copper MetalXtra and set it on the puddle of hot melt glue. After the
glue cools, remove the stamp that has "sunk" into it. Wipe off excess
ink on
the hot melt glue seal.
