Hi Folks, Jenny here! What's your favorite WOW! embossing powder?  Mine changes all the time, but I have a few that I go back to time and again.  One of those is Metallic Brass.   It's a gorgeous warm goldy color, and I love to use it when I watercolor.


I created a video showing you how I made this card.  You can check it out over on the WOW! YouTube channel here:



I used the gorgeous WOW! Beautiful stampset  - this is super versatile - you can use the main focal image, or you can use the tiny stamps that come with it, or use both together like I've done here.  I heat embossed in between each stamping so I could see the scene I was building - I went for a loose scattered look to match the loose watercoloring.   
I also did a little bit of sprinklbossing by lightly sprinkling some of the embossing powder in the spaces on my card and heating from behind so that it didn't blow off.  I knew I was going to add some colored paint splatters at the end so thought this would go …

Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! If you love to play about creating lots of watercolour backgrounds, but then don't use them all up in you cards straight away, this technique is a great way to use up those surplus watercolour backgrounds from when you were playing and experimenting. Using heat embossing, you can trap the watercolour underneath the stamped image, and then lift the colour surrounding it to get stunning backgrounds to use. Whether you use them whole, cut them up or even die-cut from them, you can easily use up those backgrounds to create stunning cards. You can use this with any of you watercolour backgrounds, however, I find it works best when you use panels with bright vivid colours.
