Hello sweet bee - a card by Riikka Kovasin

Hello! It's Riikka here again with another post! Totally different style card this time, but there is one common factor in them - the foils! Where as I made some really grungy cards in my previous post, in the beginning of the month, this time I made something as sweet as honey!

This card had it's inspiration in the spring and sun. I wanted to create a cheerful card with sunshine. For the sun part I created a big golden disc using golden Fab Foil. As the foil sticks to anything, well, sticky, I used double sided adhesive sheet this time. I added the sheet on top of some cardstock and then used a circular die to cut a "sun" out of it and then foiled it with gold.
To further have that sweet feeling, I used honey tones in the background. I embossed a honey comb styled pattern to the background using "Honey" powder and then added some watercolors in honey shades on top. I also chose to mount the card on top of orange cardstock and have that line the greeting a…

Create a brave story - a set of cards by Riikka Kovasin

Moikka! It's Riikka here today from Paperiliitin blog! I'm really excited to be back here for a couple of posts this month and to tell you the truth - there's more coming along the year! 
These cards were inspired by a wonderful creative event that took place in Frankfurt this January. I'm talking about Creativeworld and more over the amount of street art in there. There was several stands with street art influences and even an exhibition area of it. It was wonderful to see the artists working!

What I was also inspired by was the new WOW! products! It was awesome to see those in use at WOW! booth and even get some to play with at home. The new embossing powders were splendid, the sets beautiful but what really drew my eye was the embossing ink refiller! I really loved the way you're able to apply the ink with it, it's full of possibilities! 
I combined the two inspiration sources in these cards - the freehand possibility of the refiller and also the street art…

Tone-on-Tone-on-Tone!

Hi there! Emily Midgett back with you today for my second guest post for WOW! Embossing! Today, I have a pretty, feminine card for you using lots of pretty peachy-pink and even some sparkles, so let's get started with the details! 

I began by heat embossing that absolutely gorgeous Rebecca Lace background from Simon Says Stamp using WOW's Soft Mango embossing powder on some beautiful Peony (SSS|EH) card stock. The Peony card stock is a lovely shade of soft pink, and the Soft Mango is just a tad darker shade of coral, which makes for a very pretty tone-on-tone combination! This stamp is also super detailed, and the WOW embossing powder picked up every single detail just beautifully.   

I wanted a sparkly greeting, so I created some custom glitter card stock using the WOW Bridal Sparkles. I began by adding some 1" Scor Tape (a heavy duty tape adhesive) to some card stock, then die cut the lovely "smile" (SSS|EH) from The Stamp Market from this adhesive card stock…
