Blogger's Challenge #124: Technique Time!



Our challenge today was to feature a technique. I love to heat emboss and this is a fun way to do that!

First, decide on your background image. I used Bella Toile background stamp in Dusty Durango. I allowed that to dry and then used my embossing buddy over it. Then, using a Versamark pad and Clear Embossing powder, I stamped and embossed the Medallion stamp right over the first image. This allows you to "protect" parts of the background image with another image. Then, I sponged all over the Medallion image with Soft Suede and a Sponge Dauber.

Try your hand at this technique and also check out what techniques the other Blogger's Challenge members were trying out this week!
