I want to share with you a canvas I made for a friend that incorporates again various types of embossing powders on a number of mediums. It includes UTEE; Regular Embossing Powders as well as Adirondack Embossing Powders which have been applied to canvas; chipboard and acetate. I hope you enjoy!

Dream - EP Challenge



Supplies:

Embossing Ink - Ranger

Black & Gold UTEE - Ranger

Adirondack Embossing Powders- Ranger

Black & Gold Embossing Powders - Ranger

Stickles - Ranger

Acetate - Office Depot

Chipboard Letters - WeRMemory Keepers

Canvas- Canvas Concepts

Collage Image - DMD Industries

Flourishes - Autumn Leaves

Tulip - Magenta

Instructions:

1. Stamp Flourish on acetate and sprinkle with black embossing powder. Heat to melt. NOTE - depending on the type of acetate you are using it may warp and melt. In some cases such as this one that is desirable in others it may not be. You can actually bend and shape the acetate to the shape you desire if you apply heat in various areas for 10-20 seconds, hold and let cool. This is why I was able to make the tulip and flourishes 3-D. It's fun to see what you can do with various images! You really should give it a try!!

2. Stamp Tulip on acetate and sprinkle with gold embossing powder. Heat to melt & form.

3. Pounce each letter with embossing ink and cover with UTEE. Heat to melt and add additional layers as desired.

4. Randomly pounce your embossing ink pad over the entire canvas.

5. Sprinkle various colors of embossing powder over the ink. Heat to melt.

6. Mount acetate pieces and letters to the canvas with a strong adhesive.

7. Brush the embossing ink along all of the edges paying special attention to the corners. I like to always apply extra in these areas.

8. Sprinkle Gold UTEE over the ink, heat to melt. Apply additional UTEE layers if desired.

9. Tuck the collage image of the little girl into the tulip and secure.

10. Cover the letters with desired color of Stickles.


Your canvas ready to hang or be given as a gift!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

  5. Gorgeous effect with all the embossing powders and I love that it's free-form! I need to pull out my UTEE and try this. I was a complete failure at using it to make stamped impressions, but this looks like something I can actually do!
