This class is a revisit of a previously used product that isn't intended for the papercraft world and it's surprising how many cross-over items from one art/craft style transfer quite easily into another. The last time I did this in a class was in 2017 but I had used it many years before myself but hadn't singled it out as a stand-alone technique. I'm using it differently this time by applying acrylic paint over the top as well as embossing powder, which I used in 2017. The acrylic paint just adds another way to add texture and colour. You can still get the shine you would if you just use the embossing powder by swiping over metallic waxes if the paint dulls it.
What am I talking about? Hemming web tape, or double-sided fusible interfacing. It has to be applied with a heat gun and you need to work fast while it is still hot enough for the embossing powder to attach itself. No need to stick it down with glue or anything, just work quickly to apply the heat from a heat gun and immediately dump on the embossing powder, then re-heat it to melt the powder. It creates beautiful lacey-looking backgrounds that add texture and interest to your surface. If you click on each image and scroll through them, you will see how much texture and depth you can get from this product.
