Simon Says........Embossing

Happy Wednesday!  Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

This week our challenge is "embossing", and the design team are using WOW! products.  

For my first card, I thought I'd try using colored embossing glitter as one of the layers in a floral multi-step stamp.

supplies: white cardstock, Altenew Garden Treasure set, Altenew Volcano Lake, Lavender Fields, Orange Cream, Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades inks, VersaMark ink, Wow! Spring Breeze and Shrinking Violet and a copper glitter embossing powder, Simon's Sending Happy Thoughts sentiment and Stitched Rectangle die, Nuvo Caribbean Ocean crystal drops, mini Misti tool, heat gun

I stamped 3 layers of the larger flowers and leaves, using VersaMark ink with an embossing glitter for the final layer.  These were cut out and arranged on the panel that I had already stamped the sentiment.  I stamped the small flower sprays near the bouquet, then used Volcano Lake and Forest Glades ink mixed with water to color them.  When they were dry, I added the fussy-cut elements, popping the big aqua flower up above everything else.  

You can see that the embossing glitter does add the detailing very well.

For my 2nd card, I did both wet and dry embossing, using the Spring Breeze embossing glitter and VersaMark ink to stamp my flowers on vellum and my sentiment, and an embossing folder to make my background..

supplies: white and Simon Mint cardstock, vellum, Taylored Expressions Leafy Vine embossing folder, a retired DieNamics Insta-Frame die, Penny Black Petal Party flower and Winnie & Walter's Big, Bold & Happy sentiment, both stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Wow! Spring Breeze embossing glitter, My Mind's Eye mint enamel dots

I like the freshness of this mint color, as we go into the heat of summer!
