Embossing Powder Technique

Hello!  I'm glad you are here for a visit.

Today I have a few cards to show you.
I saw this video where embossing powder was used on

parchment paper and she was able to peel it up to use

as an embellishment.

I didn't have any parchment when I wanted to give it a go,

so I tried a couple other kinds of paper.
Nothing worked the way it did in the video, but I still

got some interesting backgrounds to use.

This one was done on gold vellum.

I heat embossed the sentiment to add to the card front.

This one, I used the backing from some labels

thinking that since it was a type of release paper,

the embossing may peel off.  It didn't, but 
I used the background anyway.

This is another one done with the 

label release paper.

Here is another one from the vellum.

This one I did on a shiny silver metallic card stock

and I think it may be my favorite.

This one was done on a piece of deli paper.

Although none of them worked out the way they

did on the video, I'm happy with how they turned out and

the cards I made with them.

I've re-watched the video and plan to give it a try

with the parchment paper that she suggests using.

I'll surly post what I get when I try it the way she 

shows in the video.

Never hurts to give new techniques a try, even when they

don't turn out how you hoped.  I love how these cards turned out and

I've already used a few of them.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way and will 

come again soon.
Until then,

watch a video and learn a new technique.
