Hi everyone,
It's Fran here with you today.
My latest project takes on the theme of the month, favourite embossing techniques. I have showcased a couple of
mine in this Spring themed egg shrine, complete with the sweetest tiny
bird and nest. Read on to find out what they are!
The
project started out with a plain papier mache egg decoration which I
attached to a 3D metal cake mould tin via a cotton reel.
I
glued a selection of paper flowers on top of the egg, then added
flowers and painted all with chalk paint. For my first favourite
technique I stamped a honeycomb design stamp from WOW!'s Hearts &
Twine set with the Ultra Slow Drying clear ink pad and sprinkled with Clear Gloss embossing powder then
melted with a heat tool.
Next I sprayed gold mica spray ink over to create a resist effect with the clear
embossing on the surface of the egg. Into the the wet spray I added Rose Gold embossing powder onto the top of
the egg and melted to give texture and contrast to the flowers.
The
tin has been painted with the same chalk paint as used on the egg then
decorated with a cluster of flowers around the base. To highlight the
flowers I used Fairy Tale and Rose Gold powders to give
shimmer and natural looking highlights.
And a peek inside....
What's your favourite embossing technique? I'd love to know!

I adore this beautiful egg Fran and all the pretty flowers and the sweet little bird and eggs in the nest. The blue and gold finish on the egg is really pretty too. I love the emboss resist technique and I also quite often finish a sentiment with a clear gloss ep which makes it stand out and gives it a love shine. x
ReplyDeleteSorry, that should be 'lovely' shine. x
