Hi there and welcome to an exciting day! Today we have a collaboration hop with WOW! Embossing Powder and StencilGirl! Ïf you arrived from Jaine you are on the right track!
As you can see from the photo on top, I made a set of ATCs for this hop. I also recorded a little process video to go with these. You can watch it a bit further down.
There's also a giveaway connected to this hop. There's not one, not two but three prices in the hop! There's a $35 Gift Certificate to StencilGirl® Products, a $35 Gift Certificate to Seth Apter’s Shop and a $25 Gift Certificate to Wow! Embossing Powders. You can enter to the giveaway by leaving a comment below. Then be sure to visit the other blogs in the hop and comment in order for a chance to win. The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have! Three winners will be chosen at random from all blog comments.
You have until Wednesday, September 23rd at 11:59 pm Central Time to leave your comments. Winners will be announced on Thursday, September 24th.
In case you get lost along the way, here's the hop order:
As you can see from the video, I started my cards by making a patterned sheet of my own. I used Seth Apter stencil L664 - ATC Mixup to pattern the sheet using acrylic paint. I also use M193 - Excel stencil to add some pattern on top. Next I make an acrylic resist using the same ATC Mixup stencil and Clear Gloss embossing powder. I add some translucent grey acrylic paint on top, let it dry for a while and then wipe it off revealing the colorful patterns underneath the protective layer of the embossing powder.
After getting the backgrounds done I make some layering elements. First a tag using M060 - Urban Insiders stencil and Cosmic Trio embossing powders set. Then I combine M086 - Techno Insiders Circle stencil with Metalz Trio embossing powders set and a transparency and make some metallic circles as focal points. I also make some word tiles for the cards and finish them with sprinkled Bright White ultra high embossing powder.
As always with my ATCs, these are up for grabs and swaps. Please send me an email if you wish to receive one. It's first mailed, first served type of thing.
Thank you for stopping by today! Your next stop is Heather! So keep on hopping!
