Embossing Class projects

These are the cards we made at TECH Squad on Wednesday, April 8 - each one required an unusual type of embossing to complete the look!

Butterfly card - the butterfly is a photo printed on regular cardstock instead of photo paper. Then we distressed the edges of the photo with Versamark and embossed with fine black embossing powder. Paper is Bazzill cheddar and Tuscany Spice! (This card qualifies as HYBRID digital!)

Checkerboard - we actually embossed 3 different things on this card. !. Checkerboard grid was "drawn" by poki in Microsoft Word (this card qualifies as HYBRID digital!) We then added Hermafix 1/2" adhesive squares in the "checkerboard" pattern and embossed with fine black embossing powder. You must be careful, the adhesive can "smoke" if it gets too hot! 2. We embossed the WHITE flower with Versamark and fine black embossing powder. 3. We embossed the WHITE brad with VersaMagic Red Magic ink and clear embossing powder.

Sea Shell card - We stamped the sea shell from Sea Stamps T3074 with Palette Burnt Umber. The stamped image was embossed 3 times with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder. Then it was placed the freezer for 15 minutes, and upon removal, we "cracked" the top surface of the embossing! I love the triple embossed image - it almost looks like an acrylic sticker! We also used sail away T2663 to stamp the tag. Paper is Bazzill rain and whirlpool, and Amberley Grace.

Adorable Animal - the duck is the DOWNLOADED version. (That makes this one a HYBRID digital as well! - thank to TAC for adding the DOWNLOADS to the website!) We used the Versamarker (pen) to color the beak and feet of the duck, and embossed with clear embossing powder. The polka dots on the card were created with Tsukineko sponge daubers and 3 of the 4 colors in Versamagic Flower Pot! After stamping each color of dots, we added clear embossing powder before going on to next color. (when we stamped them all before we added embossing powder the ink dried too quickly!) I really like how this duck card turned out! I even like the variation in color caused by the sponge on the polka dots!
