Hello everyone,
It's mixed media time! canvas shows how great embossing powders can look combined with stencils to enrich the backgrounds of your project. I do love creating canvases mixing textures and colours so really enjoyed combining foils, embossing powders with my embellishments.
For the background I colour washed the canvas with water colour inks then added details with stencils and powders (Pearl Gold, White Peal, Rich Gold Ultra High). Adding layers of foiling details gave an extra pop and shine to the canvas.
I have used the feathers silicone mould with Melt-It powder to create these two beautiful embellishments which I have used nestled into the leaves and flowers. 

Hopefully I have given you some inspiration on different ways to use your powders aside from stamping!

Hi lovely readers! It's Fran here today with your WOW! inspiration. The hearts silicone mould is so cute I thought I would really go to town with it on this mixed media card.


I firstly stamped a card blank with the arrows stamp from the Sparkle & Shine set then layered with card and cork which I'd punched holes into.


Using the circle stamp from the Pick 'n' Mix stamps to create a pattern around the cork and highlight the punched holes which I'd set adhesive gems into.

For the cork I spread black gesso into the centre to create texture then stuck clay hearts I'd made with the WOW mould into the wet gesso. I sprinkled over Opaque White, Midas Touch and Metallic Gold Rich powders over which I melted with a heat gun. This created a lovely shimmer over the black and the powders picked up the peaks and tooth of the gesso.




Have a wonderful day Fran x

Hi everyone, I'm Sarah and I'm here with my first project for the Wow Design Team. I had great fun experimenting with all the WOW goodies, here's how to create my card.  
Create a kraft card blank 13 x 18cm with the fold at the top and run double sided tape around the front edges. Sprinkle with Mermaid Tails Embossing Glitter and melt with a heat tool.
Cut a piece of pink card 12 x 17cm and stamp a central panel with the Chrysanthemum stamp. Sprinkle with Mermaid Tails Embossing Glitter and melt.
Cut white card 11.5 x 16.5cm, stamp the Chrysanthemum stamp through the centre, sprinkle with bonding powder then melt. Lay a piece of teal Fab Foil right side up over the stamped image and lay paper on top. Iron gently or run through a laminator then peel off the foil to reveal the foiled image.
  Cut a 2.5cm strip out of the centre of the foiled image and replace with acetate then attach on the pink card with foam pads. Stamp a sentiment from …

Hi there,
Nikki here..... I love the theme rainbows...... nothing better than after a storm the rainbows coming out...... There's something very magical about a rainbow....
Here is the canvas that I made for the challenge...

The great thing about rainbows is that you decide the colours that you want to use..... pop on over to WOW! and have a look at all the colours that would make your perfect rainbow.
I finished over the canvas with a coat of clear dull powder and make a purple mix to pour into the silicone heart mould.
We really would love to see what you create with a rainbow theme.... join in with the challenge!
Happy crafting
Nikki x
