seas the day – the case of the accidental embossing powder

Two posts in one day! I must have finished moving hemispheres! I’m in the freezing Victorian temperatures here in Gippsland, and the house is slowly warming up as we keep the fire going day and night. We’re going to be brave and stop sleeping in front of the heater really soon – at least that’s what we’re telling ourselves!

These shells are from a stamp set called Shell-ebrate from Pink and Main. I stamped these in Watermark clear ink, and sprinkled on embossing powders. I used Shiny Penny Embossing Powder and Seafoam Embossing Powder. Originally I had the idea to combine the green and copper embossing powders half and half on each shell, but somewhere early in the sprinkle and shake back into the jar process, I forgot to clean up, and the two embossing powders ended up together on my scrap paper. So, I scooped up what I could of the individual colours, and added the combined powders to the rest of the shells. I really liked the results!

I cut these shells out with the matching Shell-ebrate dies and mounted them onto a tag, along with the sentiment ‘Seas the Day’ which comes from the same Shell-ebrate stamp set .

Now to the background! This is a foilable from Pink and Main called Mermaid Tail Foilable panel. I chose a shiny teal foil with a pattern of hearts on it. It’s called Lots of Love Teal foil. I’ve sadly had to leave my beautiful mini Minc behind when I came to Australia, so I need to work on getting another. I’ve definitely been hooked by the foiling bug.

Until next time,

May your days be full of fabulous weather, whatever that is for you.

Blessings
