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!
