This bookmark is for the Pause Dream Enjoy challenge. The technique I used is what I call the stained glass technique. I layed out different colors and shapes on a adhesive background. For this one I actually used a magnet backing. After everything is in place you pour embossing powder over it to stick in the places between the paper. I chose to use silver embossing powder, but you can use whatever color takes your fancy. Heat set the powder as usual. The paper I used was scrap pieces from The Paper Studio and the ribbon was from a Target 6-pack grosgrain ribbon. Hope you like the result.
What a clever idea. I've never done this before, but I don't emboss so I don't have what I would need. This is a really cool effect. What a fantastic way to use your scraps! Thanks for playing along with the challenge! :) Janis
ReplyDeleteThanks. As you can tell from most of my work, I emboss a lot!! If you want to try, the only 3 colors you need to start are white, silver, and gold. The technique I used on my ATC was white embossed and then you go over it using dabber with different colors to create a contrast effect.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous...you are so talented, girl! I also love the stationary set and I am trying to get up the nerve to try it!
ReplyDeleteI promise you the stationary set is sooooo easy! I made a diagram for each step with markings for cuts and score lines. Thank you for your comments.
