School starts back next week and I can hardly believe that I have a daughter that will be in 2nd grade. I can't believe that it is even possible - I mean, I brought her home from the hospital last week (or, so it seems).
And, now - the ultra thick embossing powder......
I've been playing around a bit with it and have made a few things. I really love this pendant that I made. I'm going to hang it from a black satin cord and wear it a little longer than a choker. I think that it turned out cute! I just cut the shape out of a heavy (almost mat board) card. Then I painted the front white. Then did a little bit of c
oloring on it, just by rubbing ink pads over it. Then I stamped some lettering. After that, I covered it with a clear pigment ink, dipped it in ultra thick embossing powder - and zapped it with the heat gun (did this several times). I added one layer of a glitter embossing powder for some depth and then finished it off with another layer of the clear ultra thick embossing powder. It ended up quite sturdy!I think that you could make a lot of things like this - of course, jewelry and additionally any number of other 'embellishments'. I'm going to make some magnets as well... I think that the options are limitless.... and, I look forward to doing more projects!
Well - I've caught myself a summer cold, so I think that I'll try to get a nap in before I have to go shop for new shoes for school!!

Very clever & very cute.
I've collected several cardboard coasters fron restaurants with the intention of using them with paints & embossing powder, you may have added some fuel to my fire! Thanks.
