WOW! Embossing Powder May 2024 New Release Hop

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.

Altenew 10th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $3,500 in total prizes)

 

Welcome to day 3 of the Altenew 10th Anniversary blog hop!  I beyond honoured and thrilled to be part of this and help them celebrate 10 amazing years!  There is so much incredible inspiration to be found along the hop and not just today...be sure to join in all the days!  Have you seen all of the incredible prizes to be won....Wow is all I have to say!

For the hop today, I decided to go simple, if you will and a bit dramatic too!  I embossed a piece of white cardstock using the Playful Blooms Embossing folder and loosely ink blended the flowers on the back debossed side of the embossed piece.  Once the ink blending was done, I went over the entire piece using a black ink pad.  I continued until the entire background was evenly covered in black ink.  The black areas over the flowers are the areas of it that are raised up.  The sentiment was hot foiled and diecut from the Sweet Sentiments Hot Foil Plate.  

To start at the beginning of the hope, head on over to the Altenew Card Blog.  If you are following along the hop, then you should have come here from the talented Teri Duncan and the next stop on the hop will be fabulous Nicki Baxley.
