Throwback Thursday: Glitter Embossing

By
Here is our Throwback Thursday Project...

Hey kids!  It's Cindy for the Scrapbook Blessings Club blog today and I've got a fun glitter embossing technique to share with you.

TiP:  Be sure and close your Versamark pad before applying the embossing powder.

Okay, grab the following supplies and let's get started :-)
Versamark pad
Embossing Tinsel (or you can use embossing pwd and glitter)
Heat tool
embossing folder
baby wipe

Steps:
1-open the embossing folder and generously apply Versamark to one side  (I used the raised side and got glitter coverage on the background of the embossed image)

2- put your cardstock inside the embossing folder and run it through your Cuttlebug

3- apply your embossing tinsel (this has glitter right in it)  or you can mix embossing powder with glitter about half and half ...should look like the photo below:
I started with a white piece of cardstock.  As you can see I missed a little spot with the Versamark...oops.

4- put excess embossing pwd back into the container.  Clean your embossing folder with a baby wipe.
5- heat the embossing tinsel/pwd/glitter with your Heat tool until it turns darker and starts to sparkle.

And here is the card I created with this glitter embossed background:
Add'l info:
5" square cardbase in white
Bugaboo Digital image - Reindeer Christmas Goodies   (They are having a sale-- 50% off all digital images until Dec 31st)
watercolor pencils

Sew Easy floss in limeade

Thanks for stopping by the SBC blog today!  I hope I've inspired you to grab your embossing supplies and make something cool!  I want to wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy 2014!!

Have a blest day!

    What a fun technique! I wondered if I could mix glitter with embossing powder, so I may have to try that out!
