Pretty Pink Posh + Wow Embossing Collaboration Blog Hop
Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning with a couple cute cards featuring a combination of Pretty Pink Posh products and WOW Embossing Powders and glitter!
For my cards today I used two different WOW gold embossing powders – Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Glitter, and Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder – as well as a white embossing powder to watercolor my florals.
To begin, I created an embossed background for each card by swiping an embossing ink pad across a panel of black cardstock. This first card I used the Gold Embossing Glitter to create the background:
This second card features the Metallic Gold Embossing Powder – I love the effect of both of them! The glittery one definitely has more sparkle, but the other is a nice rich metallic gold as well!
Next, I created a floral cluster using Geranium Stamp Set and WOW Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder. I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and leaves on the smooth side of Ranger Distress Watercolor Paper, then watercolored the images with liquid watercolors before die cutting them with the Coordinating Dies.
I arranged them over the gold embossed area with foam adhesive, then heat embossed a tiny sentiment from Camping Friends Stamp set using the same WOW Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder, and mounted that with foam adhesive over the flowers.
Final finishing touch was to add a few GORGEOUS Metallic Gold Jewels around the flowers. These are definitely rich and elegant cards with the gold and bright bold colors combinations!
