Embossing powder

It is time for the Crash Your Stash challenge over at Outlawz. This is a fun challenge where you are provided with a cue of something to use out of your stash that you may not have used for a long time. This month the cue is Embossing Powder.

My card has no coloring on it. I used a precolored image from Imagine That Digistamp for my focal image. This hummingbird is from the Fuschia & Hummingbird digi. I created my cardpanel in Silhouette Studio and created a rectangle sized at 4x5.5 inches. I filled the space with a paper from the Pumpkin Delight digital paper collection by We Are 3. I reduced the opacity some so that the color was a bit lighter. I measured the size of the die cuts that I wanted to use as my flower and resized the hummingbird so that it fit on the front of the card and still left space for a sentiment. I then printed out the panel and the bird onto white cardstock.

I returned the page to the Silhouette and added two more hummingbird shapes before cutting the page out. I ran a black marker around the edge of the colored hummingbird. I colored the edges of the white shapes with a black marker and then glued the shapes together. I stamped the sentiment in the corner of my cardpanel using a stamp from the Power Poppy Geraniums Take Two stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I covered the ink with detail clear embossing powder.

My "flower" is made with a previous Spellbinders Small die of the Month die set. I cut the layers out and glued all of them together except the top layer. Using Versamark ink, I added clear embossing powder to the top die cut. Constantly adding more ink and more powder as the layers cooled, I added a total of 3 layers of powder and the shapes are beautifully shiny and raised. I then glued the top layer to the lower layers and arranged the shapes on my cardpanel. I then added the hummingbird and finally added the cardpanel to a dark purple cardbase.

Embossing powder is such a fun medium to use. It adds a beautiful touch to cards and I would love to see your creation in our challenge. I know some of you do gorgeous embossing work. Please come and join our Crash Your Stash challenge this month in Outlawz.
