Welcome to the Powder Puff Girls Blog Hop today!
Find some great creative embossing inspiration and have a chance of winning an amazing price pack including WOW! embossing powders and more!
All you have to do is leave a comment on each blog. We will pick a winner by the end of the week.
You came here from Gina's blog.
All Powder Puff Girls will be posting something inspiring to do with embossing powders on their blogs today.
I want to give you a mini tutorial on how to make your own unique embellishment using WOW! Clear Gloss Ultra High and little glas beads.
Take a piece of book paper, fold it lentghwise, draw a half heart on the fold and cut it out. You now have a perfectly symmetrical heart shape.
Color the heart. You can do this with spray paint (that's what I did), acrylic paint, ink... whatever you want.
Cover the colored heart with embossing ink like Versamark, sprinkle the embossing powder on top, tap of the excess of and let it melt with your heat gun.
Repeat this a second time to create a very thick layer of embossing enamel.
When the second layer is melted, but still hot and fluid, sprinkle in little glass beads. If necessary heat again to let the beads melt in but don't start heating while you're still sprinkling because you might blow away your beads (depending on the heat tool you use :))
Let it cool down and distress the edges with some black Stazon.
Now your embellishment is ready for use on a layout, in a mini album or on a mixed-media project.
Thank you for stopping by!
Your next stop is Gini's blog. Don't forget to leave a little word everywhere. Have fun checking out the other girls and good luck!!
Have a lovely weekend!

















That is one gorgeous heart. I love that you hand cut it and then embellished it by embossing and adding the beads. What a fun texture!

This seems so simple, yet is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing the step by step tutorial with us. I like to art journal as well as do mixed media art and this would be lovely in both of those mediums.
Thank you so much for participating in the blog hop and giving us the chance to win some great WOW products. I only just learned about WOW a few weeks ago on Paper Crafters Library Blog and have been dying to try some of the embossing powders out since then. It would be great to win!

Howdy bra blogg! Kräver att köra en blogg som denna en hel del arbete? Jag har praktiskt taget ingen kunskap om programmering men jag hade hoppats att starta min egen blogg inom en snar framtid. Hur som helst, om du har några idéer eller tekniker till nya blogg ägare gärna aktie. Jag vet att detta är av ämnet Men jag var bara tvungen att fråga. Tack!

Pertama-tama saya ingin mengatakan blog hebat! Aku punya pertanyaan singkat yang saya ingin tanyakan apakah Anda tidak keberatan. Saya tertarik untuk mengetahui bagaimana Anda memusatkan diri sendiri dan membersihkan pikiran Anda sebelum menulis. Saya telah mengalami kesulitan membersihkan pikiran saya dalam mendapatkan ide-ide saya keluar. Saya benar-benar tidak menikmati menulis namun sepertinya seperti 10 sampai 15 menit pertama umumnya terbuang hanya mencoba untuk mencari tahu bagaimana memulainya. Setiap ide atau tips? Terima kasih!
