Hi there! Today I share first of my two monthly guest projects for Wow Embossing Powder. First up is a journal page, as you can see, and then later in the month I'm sharing something completely different. But both of the projects were inspired by this month's theme - embossing glitters.
The embossing glitters look fantastic on every surface, but have you tried them on top of black? To me that's the most exciting way to use them! Paint a few strokes of black gesso to a surface, pop the glitters on and let them do the magic! The contrast between the glimmering embossing glitters and dark background really makes them pop and shine. I left some of the background white sort of to show how different the embossing glitter looks on dark and light background.
To give the page a space or galaxy kind of look, I used some Oxide inks on top of the gessoed surface. After adding the embossing glitters, I then made a composition to back the sticker that's my focal point. I thought the saying in the sticker fitted the page perfectly - "Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties." I aim to the unexpected effect of the inks with that. As they are added with an acrylic block, they can go anywhere. But that's the beauty of it!
I also used the saying as my inspiration when adding the couple last details to the page - the glitter touches to the roses and butterfly wings and the golden dots. I used the new refiller tool to randomly apply embossing ink to the cut paper elements and then added the glitter on top. The dots I did using Melt-It powder and tins. But if you want to know how the page came into being, please see the video underneath!
Thank you for stopping by today! Ta ta for now!
