Leaving a Deep Impression with the New Book from Stampendous!


All this week the Stampendous team are featuring techniques from the Embossing Powder Techniques from A to Z by Fran Seiford.

My project today was partially completed for our hop with Tombow over the weekend, so you can check out that post HERE for a reminder of the process. Basically, it is very similar to the Deep Impressions technique as shown in the "Y" section of the book shown above, on pages 78-79. but with a different "base". 


Notice the bottom medallion that I created. Here's where I went with it...


Using a small 4 inch square canvas, covered in black Memento, and heat dried, I stamped the Cling Time for Love in black pigment ink, and embossed with Aged Silver Embossing Enamel. More ink was smeared around the edges, with more EE, and some Frantagé Silver Chunky Glass Glitter. Here's where I used the Encrusted Jewel Technique from the book, which you can find in section "S" on pages 42-45.

See where my medallion ended up? It was Deep Impressed from the Time for Love image, and placed perfectly in its space on my canvas. The fact that it is putty makes it easy to stick on or take off and use for something else...

Like my pendant from Sunday's post!


Of course, I had to add a few extra doodads and a chain to hang my tiny creation!

Check out the team's posts as they share these awesome techniques!

Seriously, the COOLEST medallion and to have it's own tiny creation as a home. It is all very steampunk and you know it's a favorite! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us this week!
