Part Stamping

Hi again folks, another blog post!!  Whoop Whoop.

Now, on Wednesday's Let Leonie Loose this week, we have got a really good price on some of my stamps - so I thought I'd have a little play and share what I've been doing with you.  You will be able to see me demo these live.

First, I cut a couple of hearts using my deep heart dies, I love these dies as they allow me to cut out of thicker materials, like mount board - which means we can get our triple thick embossing powders out!!

I coated the first heart with versamark and covered it with triple thick embossing powder.  I melted this with my heat gun, and applied another layer of powder whilst the first layer was still molten and hot.  Repeat this until you have 3 layers of powder, which will give you a lovely gloss finish.

I then used some of my coloured ultra thick embossing powders.  Silver from Crafty Notions, and a lovely blue from Cosmic Shimmer

Emboss a layer of silver first, look how smooth the finish is, it's stunning

While the silver is warm, sprinkle on some of the blue embossing powder, and emboss.  I sprinkled on some more silver, until I was happy about the colour

Now, whilst the embossing powder is still warm, stamp into it.  I used my Festive Texture background stamp, which I designed so you could use it as a background stamp....but you don't have to use the full stamp - this expands the possibilities.

And, because it's an unmounted stamp, it's really easy to bend, so this allows me to be really specific which bit of the stamp I use - and I love the look of just a little texture, I think it looks really cool

Have a play, it's easy and effective

I hope you can join me on Wednesday, Hochanda. 2-4.  Seeya then :) xxx
