This weeks blog hop the design team got free reign! We got to choose our favorite Brutus|Monroe products! Of course stamps are my all time fav but I decided to choose another product instead. I chose their yummy embossing powders! I created this card using just a sentiment stamp and some embossing powders. These powders are wax additive free. The embossing powder melts quickly, and gives a nice even coverage which really makes the embossed image pop!

This is such a fun technique and I really love doing it because it feels like your just doing some sort of experiment! You add HEAPS of embossing powder to your paper and heat it from underneath the paper. It takes awhile but eventually it will start to melt and then you have this giant swirled puddle of melted powder. You should have your stamp standing by inked with Versamark ink, gently press in and then leave for a minute until the powder has started to cool.
Once you pull out the stamp you are left with an impression in the puddle of powder! I used a alcohol marker to fill in my impressed sentiment.
I love how all the embossing powders swirl together and the rainbow powder adds a little sparkle!
Hop on your way and see what favorites

What are the tiny silver strips on this card? Love the look, and I see them on some of your other cards as well. Would love to know how to purchase these.

Anne they are silver plastic punk spikes found in the bead section at Micheal's. They are essential for all your Rock and Roll cards!

Thanks Amy. I went to Michaels and couldn't find them. Is the strip (tiny triangles) a sticker?
