This fortnight's technique is making an embossing powder by combining Black utee and Perfect Pearls. I have made my own mixes of embossing powders for quite a few years, if you click here, this will take you to the post I did with the embossing powder recipes using ordinary embossing powders. This particular technique this fortnight however, is made by combining a small amount of Perfect Pearls (in a single colour) with Black Utee to make very metallic looking thicker embossing. It's one of those techniques that doesn't photograph/scan well so you'll just need to make up some of your own! Visit a $2 shop (or if you're in the States, it's a Dollar Store) and pick up some small containers with screw on or snap on lids. The size of the container I use is 4cm tall x 3cm diameter (or 1.5" x 1"). I half fill this with black utee and then using a pop-stick, add a small scoop of the Perfect Pearl in your chosen colour. Shake well. You only scoop a little bit in, less than 1cm on the pop-stick (or less than 1/4"). If you use too much PP, it affects how well the Black Utee sticks to your embossing ink. Of course, this can't be used for detailed stamps but can be used to cover embellishments very well!

As you can see, I've used different techniques to create the actual body of these atc's... from the top they are:Goosebumps Texture Spray, Watercolour Stamping, Coloured Soot Stamping and Coloured Soot Stamping again, lastly another Goosebumps Texture Spray.
More to come!
