Morning everyone,
This week is 'Using Embossing Powder's week, and I have used a Tando MDF Media board for my project.
I painted the board in 'Timeless' chalk paint, and whilst still wet, sprinkled Aged Ivory Embossing enamel into the paint. I think this might be a new technique, and it works if you are careful with the heating, it doesn't burn the paint. Although you might want a window open, it was a bit wiffy! It gave a lovely background finish as well.
On top of this I used a Steampunk text stamp, and embossed in gold. Over that I added a Distressed Sequin waste stencil, and embossed the Ivory again. Taking a Tando mini heart, I triple embossed the Aged Ivory (just emboss over the top of it 3 times). Whilst still wet I used 'Steam Pumpkin' stamp but only used the cogs from it, to press into the powder.
I then had a dilemma, I couldn't find any wings in the house... so took a Tando mini angel, and cut her wings off! (Mwahahaha).. I embossed them in the fine gold, and added to the top of the heart. Next comes a Prima watch fob embellishment from my stash, which I added an image to, and covered in clear embossing powder.
To build up my hanging, I painted two Tando cogs in a very simple rust, just two colours, Raw Umber and Cadmium Orange Hue. A piece of gold net ribbon was added, and some holes to the MDF with my Cropodile, it cuts through easily. I threaded gold jewellery wire and a couple of beads and made a spiral round a paintbrush to hang the piece.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
Best Wishes,
Nikki K. xx
