Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Mixing it up with Embossing Powders

 Hi there Creators, 

Well this Something Saturday I've mixed up my embossing powders - literally!

I thought it would be interesting as they come in packs of 3 now to see what black and white would look like mixed up and embossed etc.

Therefore here are my findings.....

first up the embossing powders straight up - 

Top Row: Gold, Silver, Copper, 

Bottom Row:  Black, Clear & White (yes the clear isn't obvious, but bear with me!)

So then I took a bit of 2 different colours from the sets of 3 and mixed them up in separate containers, and these were the results: I've put the 2 original colours either side of the mixed colour

Gold and Silver mix

Now I asked you to bear with me on the clear, and here is what I did with it (actually I did 2 things....)

Firstly I took the clear embossed on white cardstock, and added colour to the background using Blending Brushes;  where the embossing is stays white  (so pretty)

Then as I was doing this I thought how cool it would look with a different colour under the embossing, so I've used Pool Party cardstock, clear embossed onto it then added colour over the top (love it!) by the way how pretty is this heart from Henna Hearts stamp set?

I made them both up into cards using the lovely "Sending Hugs" saying from the new Eden's Garden Stamp set
