Triple Embossing:

Hello paper crafting peeps Jo here and welcome to today's card creation  demonstrating the triple embossing technique. I have created these leaves impressions with the gold & rose gold embossing  powders stamping with the Flights of Fancy set.
TIP: This technique is a great way for creating your own embellishments.

Tipple embossing technique - Step 1. Place the ink pad directly on the cardstock and generously apply the embossing poweder on the ink.  Step 2. Heat emboss with the heat gun. Step 3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 3 times over and place the heat gun over the 3rd time round a little extra longer until it turns molten. You will see the difference as the powder almost looks molten or  liquidy. 
TIP: Make sure your stamp is already mounted and ready to stamp for Step 4.
Step 4. Working quickly place the stamp while the embossing powder is still molten over the top applying a heavy pressure. Count to 10 and slowly lift off the stamp leaving behind the impression.

The days of autumn - a canvas by Riikka

"The days of autumn are translucent painted on the forest’s golden ground - -" - Edith Södergran, "The Days of Autumn", 1916
Hello there! It's Riikka here today. I started this post with a quote from my favorite poet, Finnish Edith Södergran. She's a fascinating character and her poems are really beautiful and full of longing. These few words fitted my project so well that I wanted to include them here. 
Today I'm sharing an autumn canvas with you I did inspired by this month's challenge theme, triple embossing. The background holds two different ways of that technique. There's stamping to the triple embossed surface in two ways. I also treated some of the embellishments with embossing powders and created some sparkling roses to the piece as well. Want to know how I made it? Please see the steps below! 

This canvas celebrates the autumn. What I love about this season are the colors and also the anticipation. The winter is drawing nearer and aft…

Autumn tag by Laurence

Hello WOW fans! I'm so excited to share a tag using the triple embossing technique. It's autumn now and I was inspired by the warm colors of the season.
I started with a white tag and added some strips of washi tape to add texture, added gesso. When dry, I used a wet brush to dilute gelatos and neocolor II. 

The Flights of Fancy stamp set is just perfect for the season. I used gold pearl to heat emboss some leaves. Pearl embossing powders are really fun to use and react differently, depending whether you have a light or dark background. You should try them, you won't be disappointed.
I used a separate leaf for the triple embossing technique. I first stamped with a light inkpad and cut around the stamped image.
The leaf is covered with 3 layers of embossing powder. I used Clear Gloss and Metallic Gold Rich. When the last layer was still hot, I gently pressed down my stamp.




I dabbed white glue through my stencil and sprinkled Pumpkin spice sparkles. You may now add all your elemen…
