Hey Crafty People!
It's Tasha here and today I'm sharing one of my all time favourite heat embossing techniques!

You can see exactly how I made this card over on YouTube, or carry on reading for a quick run-down!
1. Press the Ultra Slow Dry embossing ink pad to the upper half of an a2 panel of Neenah 80lb, then add swipes of ink that extend the edge of the inked area, using the Mixed Media embossing Brush. You are looking for an organic edge to our blending, so don't pay attention to how you brush the ink on!
2. Add Primary Soft Aqua embossing powder, from the new Island Time Trio over the entire inked area and heat set.
3. Emboss pieces of cardstock with the Antique Gold and Antique Copper embossing glitters (Frosted Jewels trio). For a more concentrated amount of sparkle, emboss a second layer over the top. (Tip! Use scraps of cardstock that will be big enough to cut your dies from.)
4. Die cut three of the decorative wing layers from the Fly Away With Me & Fly Away With Me 2 die sets. I cut the largest Butterfly from the Gold piece and both of the smaller dies from the Copper.
5. Die cut the bottom, solid layer, from Altenew Brushed Rose Gold cardstock. Adhere the embossed layers to their coordinating solid layer, but only apply glue to the centres to allow you to tease the wings up for a more dimensional look.
6. Stamp a sentiment from the Falling Hearts stamp set in Canyon Clay ink from Altenew, this is a great match to the Rose Gold cardstock.
7. Trim down the embossed panel to 4in x 5.25in and mat this onto an a2 sized panel of the same Rose Gold cardstock. (Tip! To avoid wasting any of your gorgeous speciality cardstock, cut the centre out of this matting layer, you won't be able to tell from the front at all, but it reduces the amount of it that it is hidden behind the smaller panel!)
8. Glue the Butterflies to this panel using strong liquid glue and embellish with Rose Gold Glitterstones embellishments.
Thank you for spending this time with me today, I really hope you'll give this technique a go...and if you do, be sure to tag both WOW & I on our socials so that we can check out what you made!!!
Have a lovely, happy, safe & wonderful week!
