WAXED STAMP EMBOSSED BACKGROUND WITH WOBBLERS

Action wobblers are a great way to add a little something extra to your atc's or cards. It's been a few years since I've used them in a class so to keep it interesting, I came up with a different background technique to use with the wobblers. I started with a base of Distress Oxide Inks either smooshed or blended onto the background, then embossed a stamped image, then used metallic waxes swiped randomly over the embossing to alter the colours. I found the chunky embossing powders worked the best as they have more of a textural look to them. You can make your own action wobblers as they can be expensive to buy and there are lots of instructions and videos of how to do that if you google it. The advantage of doing them yourself is you can control how high to make the wobbler but the pre-made ones are certainly quicker to apply, simply peel off the sticky bits on both sides and apply it.
