May "make art" challenge...

Kim (aka Mrs. eclecticPaperie)
gave us a simple challenge for May...
April showers bring...

you got it!

just use flowers!

here's mine...

my flowers and hearts are die cut from 
my black magic mat board...

here's something I discovered...
 the Ranger foil sheets 
will stick to HOT embossing powders...

just melt your embossing powder & 
have the foil sheets nearby...
quickly press the foil sheet onto 
the HOT embossing powder...
let it cool...
it takes just a few seconds & then
RIP the foil sheet off
 to reveal random spots of foil...

and a NEW technique is born...

foiled embossing powder!

you can see the random foil bits below,
on both flowers and the large heart...


here's the full tag...



our sponsor for the May challenge is 
Ranger...

one random entry will win
 all 3 of my NEW archival inks & the 3 embossing powders!

I hope you'll join the challenge & share YOUR art...


foiled embossing powder...
a fun new technique and

another way to...

make art!
wendy
ps...
the sentiment 
says it all!


wait...don't go...

come see us in Novi, Michigan 
at Great Lakes Mega Meet...

our Stampers Anonymous booth will be LOADED with cool stuff!

lots of fun demos are planned &
if you're a blog friend, 
tell me & I'll have 
a little something just for YOU!

    WoW! There is something about this tag that really intrigues me. I love that you've found your passion and you share it with others. I love looking at all the elements on your tag. The foil embossing looks wonderful on your grungy April hearts and flowers! The splash of blue blended with the creme and browns behind the polka dots are delightful. Love It!
