Quiet Meadow Silhouette

Good Afternoon and welcome to another Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop. Today’s theme is Heat Embossing and I’ve used the Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card.

With today’s theme being Heat Embossing I wanted to do some thing a little different to just heat embossing an image or sentiment on a card.

The technique I’ve used today is not rocket science but something maybe we don’t always think to do and inspired by Jennifer McGuire from USA.

Here’s todays card …

How stunning do those flowers look? To create follow these steps …

• cut out your dies in Basic White, or any colour really,
• press die cut-out into your Versamark Ink Pad, its a good idea to reink your versamark pad if you haven’t in a while just so its nice and juicy
• cover die cut-out with embossing powder of your choice, shake off excess
• heat set with heat tool

You may want to use some tweezers to hold your die cut-outs while heat setting as they can get really hot. I prefer to use reverse tweezers on my projects.

My background piece is a piece of Shimmery White. The text stamp is stamped off 3 times using Smokey Slate and then stamped randomly off the edges. I’ve also stamped the dotty/splatter stamp in Sahara Sand after stamping off 3 times.

I was after an old book page look so using the blending brush around the edges with Sahara Sand gave the effect I was after. I hope you like it.

The sentiment is heat embossed in black and cut out with the Ornate Frames Dies.

I hope sharing the heat embossed Die Cuts has given you a technique to use in your own projects. You can do this technique with any die cut and words look really good using this technique too!
