Mixed embossing ...

 I have a friend who has just flown off to Paris, France .... * sigh *

She is spending the next two months in Europe, so that called for a card to say "Bon Voyage"!

I wanted to send her Something special before she left...

 You would call this technique: Mixed Embossing...

I have mixed embossing powders with dazzling diamonds and used more than one.

Not difficult, you just have to sweep up between dustings, and don't sneeze.

Firstly, I stamped the Eiffel tour in Versamark ink

 and dusted it with black embossing powder.

But, before heating it, I sprinkled just a touch of dazzling diamonds glitter onto it and then warmed it with my Embossing heat gun.

The embossing powder melts and sticks the dazzling diamonds with it.

Contiinuing on I stamped the Artistic Etchings crown in versamark and covered it with gold embossing powder, heated it...

and stamped another image with versamark and covered them with clear embossing powder.

Now I stamped the French folliage words and the medallion  in Soft suede and Early espresso as a background.

Finishing with a sponge of Soft Suede ink around the edges.

A few pearls and rhinestones for bling and ... Voila!

Mixed embossing - it looks quite shabby - vintage ... is that a term?
