Have you ever tried layering embossing powders?  You can really achieve some fun effects, especially layering translucent colors over opaque colors, or shades of the same color on layering stamps.   In today's post, I'm using a wreath builder stencil (by Gina K) to use achieve some layering effects, and also show you how some of the wide range of gold embossing powders WOW! carries compare with each other.  There's a video showing you how I created these two cards which you can see here or over on the WOW!

I then created my own glitter paste with the Twinkerbelle Sparkles by mixing it in with some transparent embossing paste using a palette knife.  I LOVE doing this - WOW! carries such a diverse range of glitters, so…
