Wisdom and age!


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Stencil and Viv has chosen heat embossing as the  theme. There are some video tutorials on the blog to help if this is a new technique for you, and the design team has lots of ideas for inspiration!

I placed this stencil by Funky Fossil on my card stock then used a small versamark inkpad to ink through it. Next I sprinkled on some Wow perissa embossing powder on, tapped off the excess and used a heat gun to heat it up.

I hadn't used this powder before, love the coppery colour and it's a bit texturey like frantage. There are some other colours in there too, silver and gold.
Here's a closer look.


This crazy bird was stamped and clear embossed on watercolour paper, fussy cut and coloured with  Inktense pencils.

The sentiment is a new one, for me anyway. There are some really cheeky ones in the set!

I'm linking up to these challenges:

What a sentiment! Love it Cathy - and TH's birdie has such an expression! Like the way you have embossed the stencil - must get some of that powder as it gives a lovely effect.
