magic medallions

.......another artsy moment.

zoom in to actually see some of the attitude on the card.

.......remember embossing powder??

.......i am sure we all have aprox. fifteen different shades hiding in a drawer somewhere.

.......it was a bit of a fad when you first started but soon lost it's luster when new products elbowed their way into the scrapping world...... well,this is an old technique but a fabulous one to drag out every couple of years.

..use a piece of paper bigger than the size of your image.

..ink it up with any colour of ink. it's okay to miss areas to give it a more natural look..

..spread embossing powder over the inked areas.

..heat embossing powder and paper until it all melts.

..do this three or four times depending on thickness desired.

..quickly push your stamp into the molten embossing powder.

..leave it there for 30 seconds. remove from embossing powder.

and "Voila" you have a medalion.

..trim excess of or use excess space to stich it to a funky background.

..the medallion on the left took at least 4 layers of embossing powder.
..medallion on the right was done with two layers of utee (thick embossing powder)

.silver and copper was mixed to create that lovely blend.
..your imagination is the only thing that limits you from here on in.
