Glittery Metallic Encouragement Card

Hi everyone and welcome back to our creative WOW space! Raluca here and I'm so excited to share with you my glittery new card showcasing one of my favorite WOW Embossing Powders!

I created this card to play along with the "Metallics" theme for the Wow! Embossing Powder Facebook Fan Group page monthly challenge - ❤ WOW Embossing Powder Fans ❤ https://www.facebook.com/groups/WOWEPFans/

For my card I played with WS26 Metallic Platinum Sparkle and these WOW must have tools WOW! Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing PadWOW! Heat Tool - Euro and WOW! Premium Embossing Craft Mat.


First I chose a panel from all the watercolored panels that my nieces made when they visited me. My eyes stopped on this beautiful purple pink panel that I thought it would go perfectly with the gorgeous WS26 Metallic Platinum Sparkle embossing powder.


Then I went through my stamp stash and chose this lovely Ellen Hutson - Plant Ladies Say stamp set that has this big and bold sentiment. I stamped it using th…

Mixed Media Tag by Susanne Rose

Hi everyone!

It's Susanne writing today and I'd like to share a mixed media tag with you. I used liquid watercolors together with the round mini Gelli Plate to create my background.

The "Hey little Flower" stamps add a lovely texture to my background together with the brand new "Banana Split" powder.


I pick some gelli prints and emboss the "Flights of Fancy" with "Primary Ebony" powder. 

 I paint the edges of my tag with a black Gelato.


The lovely hearts are created with the "Hearts" mould and a combination of WOW! Melt it Powder "Mint Macaroon" and "Under the Sea". I used some wool from my kids to finish the tag.


 The sentiment is from the brand new "Just Saying" stamp set.


Thanks for stopping by today!
xx Susanne.

Flower Card by Susanne

Hi my dear crafty friends!

Susanne here and this is my debut at the WOW! Embossing Powder Blog today. I am very excited and proud that I am part of this talented team! I like to share this colourful flower card. I started the card with a watercolour background. Therefor I used my inktense blocks and added lots of gold dots on top using the Gold Rich Powder together with the Funky Border Strip clear stamps. I picked the round dots, stamped them with clear embossing ink side by side and added the powder. To give it a more random look I wiped away some of the powder with a brush, before I heat set it. I smeared the edges of the background layer with white acrylic paint.

Let's talk about the embellishments: I used different die cuts that go under my paper flowers.


The dies to create these 3d paper flowers come from My Favourite Things and Marianne Design. Some are layered ones, some are roll up flowers. To give them more interest I added Heart Throb Embossing Glitter to their edges. …

LOTS OF HUGS

Hi everyone, this is Martha Lucia here and I am excited to share with you my first official post in WOW blog! The embossing powders have always been one of the my best friends in my creations and techniques. Today I want to share a card that I made using watercolor and WOW Opaque Bright White Regular Embossing Powder and two of the new WOW Embossing Stamps.


To make this card I used watercolor paper and I stamped over it the new Secret Garden WOW Stamp for Embossing using WOW Embossing Pad covered with WOW Opaque Bright White Regular Embossing Powder. Then I melted the powder with the Heat Tool. I colored each flower using a combination of distress ink applied with an aqua painter. 

For the general background I applied the distress ink directly with a blending tool and then I sprayed it with water, before pasting this layer to the card base and adding the sentiment that I stamped using the same WOW Opaque Bright White Regular Embossing Powder.This time, I stamped a sentiment from the n…

Watercolor Happy Birthday

Hi there Wow fans this is Jenifer here with you today to share a fun technique.  I have a ton of art supplies that I really don't know how to use.  Right now watercolor is such a popular trend that I thought I would give it a try.
I found these metallic watercolors for under 5$ at Michaels.  I embossed my Sexi-Hexi stamp with Ebony embossing powders and then I just roughly colored in the spaces.  I wanted to try out a bunch of the colors so I went with a rainbow pattern.


Here is a close up, can you see how it sparkles.  I finished everything off with a bright silk ribbon and a statement.  I hope you have enjoyed my card today.  Give watercolor a try, it's really fun.

Heat Embossing + Watercoloring

Hello everyone! Nicole here and today I wanted to share a simple project combining heat embossing and watercoloring on a card. I've been feeling a lot like spring lately so pink, blue, and purple came to my mind when creating today's card.
Elegant and sophisticated look was I was shooting for so I thought the Metallic Silver Super Fine embossing powder would be a perfect choice.

For detailed images like this one, super fine powders do a perfect job in expressing them. I really love using these types of powders from WOW!. After I heat setting the image with I watercolored the image using Acashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pen set. I pre-wet the image with water first and dropped the colors with the pens by simply tapping them onto the image. By doing so, the pigment will mostly stay on the darkest side of the image and the water will fade out the colors itself.

I let the white space do the rest of the work. It helps the colors pop out nicely without much effort. 
Hope you enjoy tod…

Rainbow Birthday Wishes Card

Hello! Nicole here with a brand new card to share with you guys. Today I wanted to share an easy way to create a watercolor background card using a background stamp set, embossing powder, and watercolor mediums. This card is super easy to create and you basically let the water do all the work!
To create the background, I stamped the Sexi-Hexi Stamp Set with Versamark on to a watercolor paper. Then I heat set it with Bright White Superfine Embossing Powder. Make sure you wet the whole layer with a clean water before adding colors.

I used few colors to create a rainbow background - this is my favorite color combination to use. You simply drop a color onto the paper and let the water blend colors together. You can either dry the layer with a heat gun, or let it dry naturally by leaving it for about 15 min or so.
For sentiment I used Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set and placed it on the bottom right color of the card. I didn't want to use any big or fancy greeting since I want the backgr…

Emboss Resist Watercolor Hello Card

Hello! Nicole here to share the very last project for the year of 2014 with you all- Where did 2014 go?? I can't believe in just couple of days we are going to be saying "hello" to the year of 2015. As a last project here on WOW! blog, I wanted to shake things up a bit and introduce a very colorful card. We've seen lots of holiday projects during the past couple of month so I thought this would be a nice break for you guys. And, who can say no to a colorful, bright, new card, right? 

I chose a big butterfly stamp set from my stash and decided to use it as the main part of the card. It has lots of details and I thought the Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder would work perfectly together. It looks really complicated, but oh it is so simple! Check out the video tutorial above to see how this card comes together. 

I love using the Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder since it catches all and any details of an stamped image. I highly recommend investing in it, …
