Heat Embossing at the OSCC

Welcome to Saturday! We are back on track at One Stop Craft Challenge with some amazing new Design Team members. Thanks for waiting for us during the mini break while we regrouped. This week we are sponsored by the FABULOUS A Day for Daisies with a heat embossing challenge. I love ADFD images, they are so whimsical and fun to color. I was thrilled to play with Butterfly Fairy for my card. I hope you join us this week in the Embossing Challenge. I heat embossed my image on vellum and layered over a panel I'd used the shaving cream technique on. If you look closely you'll see my black and white background piece is double embossed. I inked my embossing folder with Versamark, ran my white cardstock through and then piled on black embossing powder. It gives a bit grungier look than the typical crisp lines from just one embossing technique.

I pulled inspiration from several other challenges too, please check out the links and join in their fun as well.

Thanks for looking! Spicey Cat Chick =^..^=


TIP: The easiest way to add impact to your cards, is pile on the layers and give them some ‘pop’. This is super easy to do, especially with winged images. Add a mini pop up or glue dot behind the wings and your card is ready to take flight.
I’m pretty good at Copic coloring and using layers for oomph.
I fussy cut 3 fairies to create my dimensional girl. 
I think my card is indeed smothered with crafty goodness, maybe a bit TOO much. 
365 Cards Day 166 ~ Squared I have layers and layers of squares
