Dancing Dragonflies

Time for the midway reminder post for the Scribbles Designs Challenge with the theme of Embossing (wet or dry). Use either dry or wet embossing. If you don't have an embosser, maybe you could use a pre-embossed patterned paper. 

One of the disadvantages of digi stamps is not being able to wet emboss them as easily as acrylic or rubber stamps. It is possible but it's a bit fiddley, and I don't do fiddley! So this is my 'easier' solution!


Materials used: 
Scribbles Designs - #F122 Dragonfly
Scribbles Designs - #F35 Lilypad (free)
X-Press It card
Copic pens
Heat It Up! embossing powders - Holographic, Silver Pearl, Blue Glass, Enchanted Gold
FunStamps embossing powder - Verdigris
embossing pen

The two images and the quote are arranged on the page and printed onto X-Press It card. The lilypad is coloured with Copic pens.

For the dragonfly body I mixed a little of the embossing powders together to try to mimic the shimmer on a dragonfly. I painted the image with the embossing pen then embossed in the usual way. I repeated the process a couple of times to make sure nothing had been missed.  I then did the same for the wings but this time just ued Silver Pearl and then Holographic on top.
There are a number of videos around on the internet describing how to emboss the lines of a digi image so maybe one day I will have a go at it, if my printer will take it!

If you have ever wet embossed the line art of a digi image I would love to know how it worked out.

Meanwhile there are still two weeks left for you to have  a go at the challenge. Remember you can use embossed papers made or bought it still counts. All the details are on the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog, there is even a freebie image you can pick up. Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for popping in. Take care.
