Hi Everyone!

It has been a very long time since I have posted on the blog, but since the offices are closed for the holidays, I had time to photograph a project that I had finished a few days ago :)




I first quickly covered my paper in Liquitex Acrylic Ink in Cerulean Blue and Vivid Lime Green and let it dry completely. You can zap it with your heatgun to speed up the process!


I cut out my own "ray" stencil using a sturdy clear acetate sheet and chose a point for my rays to radiate outwards from. I then sponged Versarmark ink onto my painted surface through my diy stencil and dusted Calypso WOW! Embossing Powder on top and heat set it. I repeated the process for each ray.

I wanted to keep the colour of these leaves,  I had Dylusions Ink Spray on the mask and it reacts with water,  so my first experiment was to see if it reacted if I used the WOW Embossing pen over top,  and it did not!  SO EXCITED :-). this meant I could colour over all the bits I wanted to keep. (which was all of it) and then embossed with Wow Embossing Clear gloss. I have been using a lot of foil in my projects lately and I wanted to add some to this page.  I wish I had taken a photo before sticking this butterfly down.  I had tried to do r…

It's almost Christmas and I want to share with you an art journal page about my Christmas tree decorations for which I created an embossed Christmas tree.


I started with applying an Adhesive Sheet (Scrapbook AdhesivesTM by 3L) to a piece of cardstock and embossed it with a mix of green embossing powders, Glamour Green Glitter, Earthtone Olive Regular, Primary Evergreen Super Fine (WOW! Embossing Powders).



Then I tore the embossed paper into pieces, creating the branches of the tree.



I added some turquoise acrylic paint to 2 pieces of patterend paper to create a background and applied the branches to the…
