I’m excited to be joining WOW! Embossing Powder to celebrate their latest release of their new gorgeous Embossing Powders.......Speckled Pearls Trio, Candy Buffet Trio and A Night on the Town Duo! The Design Team and special Guests are each sharing inspiration using this fabulous new release and you’re all invited to join the party! 🥳

WOW are generously offering THREE lucky winners the entire May 2024 release, and you can get all of the details on how to enter further down this post. First, let’s get straight to the inspiration!

For my project I decided to use the Speckled Pearls Trio. This is a beautiful trio of blues and green.... Speckled Egg, Speckled Turquoise and Speckled Sage and as the name suggests, they have a beautiful speckled pearl finish to them. I decided to show them on both a white and a black cardstock base for my project, as they look very different depending on the base colour. In my photos, although the Speckled Egg and Speckled Turquoise look quite similar, I can assure you however that they are very different in person.

I used a quilted circle coverplate die, as it would be perfect for the trio! I cut 2 circles of each of the embossing powders on white and black cardstock and arranged them on my diecut background, 1 row of each powder. I alternated the powders between dark and white cardstock, popping up every other circle using foam adhesive.

I diecut a simple happy from black cardstock, as I didn't want too much of the powders covered up and heat embossed the small sub-sentiment using Primary Ebony embossing powder. I added my diecut background to my A2 cardbase and the sentiments were adhered using both liquid and foam adhesives.

We are so excited about this fabulous new release, that we are hopping along over 3 different platforms to give YOU the best chance to win!

WOW are generously offering THREE goodie bags that will contain the entire May 2024 release.
