Happy Birthday, U.S.A.!
Today, in the United States of America, we are having a birthday celebration.
And, I made this card in honor.
I used S558 Layered Doilies
and the birthday greeting from the SS010 Greetings Set.
I started by stamping the Layered Doilies stamp with a VersaMark Ink Pad and poured on some red embossing powder to the top third of the design. I shook off the excess, being careful not to get any red embossing powder on another part of the image.
Next, I poured on white embossing powder the the second third of the image.
I shook off the excess, being careful not to get it on any other part of the image.
I completed covering up the image with blue embossing powder, shaking off the excess.
I heated through until it was completely melted on.
Now, this part is something I have never done before. And, I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. After the embossing on the Layered Doilies cooled, I stamped the 'happy birthday' greeting with the VersaMark stamp pad and poured red glittered embossing powder on and shook off the excess.
I think it turned out pretty cool! What do you think? Have you layered heat embossing before?
If you have, share a link to your project. I'd love to take a look.
Until next time...
