The pale moon - a canvas project by Riikka Kovasin

Moikka! This month's theme of silver and gold inspired me to go celestial with my challenge project and I continue that theme in my post. Although I use gold in my projects, if I'd need to choose between the two I'd definitely go with silver. It's the same with the sun and the moon - if I could choose my daily schedule, it would be that of an owl. I like night time and would love to stay up late and sleep in but that isn't possible with two kids and a job with day shifts. 

So with those inspirations - silver and moon - I created this canvas piece. I couldn't decide between a crescent moon and a full one so I did both! They are done using different Wow products so you get two ideas in the price of one. 
I also had a very clear idea of the black background in my mind. I wanted it to have a blue glaze on top so it would look dark and almost black, but put it on an angle and you see the blue hues. So I used translucent powders on top of black layer to create that …

Metallic "Hello" cards by Riikka

Moikka! It's Riikka here today. I know you are going to be surprised by the project I created this time. Not only I made a minimalist card but with a video! Please let me know if you prefer the step by step styled tutorials or video form. I don't promise anything, but will then do my best to make more of those tutorials!

I wanted to keep things a bit simpler this time with the metallic theme. Naturally I could have created something like the canvas I did back in October last year (link), but I had this idea of painted glass windows I wanted to try out. I used a transparency as my base and started layering different powders on top. The key element is the transparency - it needs to cope with warmth so something meant for laser printing is ideal.
By using a stylized stamp and black embossing powder as the first medium and then delicately filling in the design with colored powders you could create something like the famous Rose Window of Notre Dame. And if you only use translucen…

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…

Glitter, Shine and Metallic .........with Pink & Main

Hi All, Jo here and welcome to today's blog post.
This month the Design Team have had the pleasure on working on projects to collab with the Pink & Main products now available in the WOW store.







The cards I have made is simple yet striking as the embossing powders I have used both metallic and glitter mix speak for themselves. 
I'm hoping that you can see in these cards the effectiveness yet simplicity of this simple card layout doesn't need to be over complicated at all.
The background stampset I have used is the WOW's "POP" background.
For the sentiment I have used the versatile "Congrats" stamp and coordinating die from Pink & Main.  This fabulous stampset and die can also be layered as it has the detailed script of the word as well as the out layer of the sentiment.
I have created a video show casing these embossing powders and stamps. 




Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed today's card creations.
Hugs Jo
