Playing with embossing powders

Hello and happy Tuesday to you!

I had a little play time in the ol' craft cave yesterday, and

wanted to share what I made. I tried a new to me technique

called layered heat embossing. This technique works great with

any of those layering stamps, of which I have maybe two: a peacock 

and a Christmas tree. I used the peacock for my experiment:

here's the finished inside:

I don't think I've used my anti-static bag so much on one project ever! LOL!

And miracle of miracles, it worked for me!

Just look at all those layers of embossing powder:

I was happy to find that I had a couple of blue embossing powders to use.

The one I used for the solid body had glitter in it, as did the gold I used on

the tail feathers, so there's a bit of sparkle all over this bird!

This was a fun technique, and I hope to experiment with it again soon.

That's it for now. I'm going to go play in the dirt and plant the

flowers I bought on Sunday. Had to wait for decent weather first.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!
