Happy Monday, Friends! It’s the first week for AUG-2020 “Masculine” challenge theme over at the WOW! Embossing Powders Facebook Page. So therefore, this week I’ve created this “YOU” masculine card made using WOW! Midnight Dream, WOW! Blue Tang, WOW! Oasis, WOW! Metallic Platinum and WOW! Metallic Gold Rich powders. With that being said, I’d like to invite you to come and play along with us for a chance to win a $15.00 or ₤15.00 gift card to WOW! US or WOW! UK online stores. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the step by step on how I made it ↓
To begin with, I started by placing an A2 size watercolor card panel inside of my stamping tool. Next, I lined up on the upper side of the card panel one of the stamp images from the Painted Background stamp set, and once the stamp images was onto place I went ahead to pick it up with the stamping tool door and I proceed to prep the card panel with Embossing Powder Tool.
Therefore, after the card panel was prepped with embossing tool, I went ahead to get the image stamped using WOW! Embossing Pad. Thus, after I had the first swatch image stamped over the card panel, I went ahead to add WOW! Blue Tang over the sticky surface. Then right after that, I placed the card panel back into place inside the stamping tool to keep stamping, and so on and so forth I kept stamping and adding the following embossing powders WOW! Midnight Dream, WOW! Oasis, WOW! Metallic Platinum.
Moving along, after I had finished the stamping and adding the powders I removed the card panel out of the stamping tool, and I went ahead to heat set it using WOW! Heat Embossing Gun Tool, So, once I had that done I went ahead to trim the edges off out of the card panel, and then right after that I decided to add an extra touch of gold, so I went ahead to smoosh a bit of gold watercolor paint using a piece of acetate and I also added a few gold splatters using what I had left from the paint. Lastly, after I had that step done I adhered the backing of the card panel with foam mounting tape to an A2 top folding white card base, and while I was waiting for the painting to dry, I set the card base aside. Meanwhile, I created the You die-cutting so, to do that I went ahead to lined up over a piece of gold cardstock the inner layer die from the Sentiment suite: You Die Set, and because I wanted to add dimension I also went ahead to die-cut the word 3 more times but this time out of white cardstock.
So, after I had the die-cutting pieces done I stacked them all creating that was a dimensional word, last but not least I glued it down with liquid glue to the center of the card panel, and then I went ahead to finish the card off by mounting 2 bub-sentiments (as shown in the image above) which I had previously gold heat embossed over white cardstock using WOW! Metallic Gold Rich and Simply Sentiments - Hello Stamp Set. Finally, to add a touch of Sparkle! I went ahead to glue down here and there with liquid glue a few clear sequins.
