Creative Embossing

I have embossed a bit before. Never quite new what did what when you stamped an embossing ink vs colored inks. Once again this class has given me a light bulb moment. We learned that all embossing powders are not the same even if they don’t specify it on the label, and that what you stamp on makes as much difference as what embossing powder you use.
I love the look of embossing. We used a batik technique, a rusted enameled look, and we used Tim’s Distress Embossing powder too.

I messed up the first technique by stamping with clear embossing ink instead of colored ink. It came out really neat. The one on the left is clear and the color is on the right.
The tags on the bottom are the 3 different techniques we learned : Nostalgic Batik, Rusted Enamel, and Distress Powder. I did add the spray and flick technique to my rusted enamel tag, it just had to have it.. lol
Thanks for stopping by. Please sign up for updates
