Group of Seven Cardmakers Blog Creative Heat Embossed Backgrounds!
After seeing all the beautiful cards by the seven creative cardmakers using the
Heat Embossed Backgrounds Techniques I knew I had to play😊
I loved how my card turned out and hope you do too!
I used Strathmore Mixed Media paper for my background.
Scrunched up a piece of cling wrap and dabbed onto Versamark Ink pad and
then dabbed ink onto MM paper.
Then used "Ranger Distress EB Glaze" Broken China and Cracked Pistachio and
heat embossed. I used my new to me SSS Hot Hands Red tool to hold
my paper securely with out burning my fingers:-) (cool tool)
I then die cut the heat embossed background with
SSS "Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die".
I attached 5 layers of Memory Box "Dragonfly Stems Left Corner" die
using A Must Have Gina K Designs "Fine Tip Bottle" (3 in a set).
Why 5 layers? I tried 2 white then 1 die cut PP then 1 Alcohol Ink layer then
the 5th Strathmore MM Black dragonfly corner before I was satisfied...LOL!
Next I stamped and heat embossed the SSS "Messages for Everybody" sentiment.
Popped up the sentiment and main image with craft foam.
Attached to MM paper with glue and attached to SU Basic White CS
and Done!
I was very happy with the easy Heat Embossed Background Technique😊
I liked how the black dragonflies and sentiment popped too.
Thank you Lolly for creating the blog and for all seven of you
very creative experienced cardmaker friends!!
I am looking forward to your March background techniques too😊
