embossing oops!!!

  you know THOSE  moments when you totally fuck stuff something up by spilling something on your work

yup

normally it is water

or cola

or a stamp falls off its clear mount exactly where you didn't want it

or...

someone little finds your embossing powders that you left on the craft table open and pours them into a big pile on that table and then makes lovely finger drawings with it...

yeah

you are so saying "oh no!!!!!!" right now aren't you?

to be fair i DID leave them out

and they are TERRIBLY SPARKLEY for little miss magpie

sigh....

so what does one do with a large pile of mixed up embossing powders??

throw them out? well yes that is an option but i hate wasting stuff

so i figured i may as well make "stuff" with it and see what happens

so i got some inky backgrounds that i had made playing with watercolours, spritzing and ink refills and were particularly uninspiring.

i inked up a variety of stamps with versamark and randomly stamped stuff all over. then added the embossing powder a la katie

and heated it up.

it actually wasn't too bad.

then i made cards with the results...

cheers ears
