Have you ever tried layering embossing powders?  You can really achieve some fun effects, especially layering translucent colors over opaque colors, or shades of the same color on layering stamps.   In today's post, I'm using a wreath builder stencil (by Gina K) to use achieve some layering effects, and also show you how some of the wide range of gold embossing powders WOW! carries compare with each other.  There's a video showing you how I created these two cards which you can see here or over on the WOW! Embossing YouTube channel. 



For my first card, I used a wide variety of golds along with the Gina K wreath builder stencil and Mandala Maker stamper set. 
I built up my mandala in the usual way as you would with ink, but instead I used the following embossing powders, which all pair beautifully with each other: Rose Gold, Metallic Brass, Metallic Rich Pale Gold. 


I made sure to use my powder tool in between each 'ring'.  It's a little tricky to see where you…

Hello, this is Laurence to show you my favourite technique or more exactly 2 techniques I love using with embossing powder. I created my background with pigmenst diluted with water in a spray bottle. I used the two triangles stamps from the "Let it snow" sheet and heat embossed them with WOW opaque bright white powder.
I worked on a separate sheet of paper and used a knife to apply randomly acrylic paint. When still wet I sprinkled some WOW peppermint tea and heat embossed it.



I cut out some triangles and glued them on my background. It is a very easy technique with random results. The title is heat embossed with WOW metallic brass

Inside I have organized all my embossing powders to see exactly which one to use on my project.
