This is my second make of Funky Fossil Designs "Stencils Unlocked Techniques from Day 1. If you'd like to know more, take a look at their page on this link.
I used three shades of Distress Oxide Spray Inks for the background colour. The colours I used are: Cracked Pistacchio, Mermaid Lagoon and Speckled Egg. It took a really long time to by fully dry, so even after big blasts from the heat gun, I left it over night.
Over the each end of the coloured card, I lay the Funky Fossil Designs "Mechanical Stencil", applying "Heavy Glossy Body Gel" by Pentart through areas of the stencil.
I then pinched small amounts of embossing powders between my fingers and sprinkled over the surface. The three colours of Wow! Embossing Powders I used are: Lavaburst, Angel Eyes and Blueberry. I then heat set with the heat gun.
Top Tip: when using the heat gun, keep it moving over the surface of the embossed area. If you hold in one place for too long, the medium and powders can bubble - great if you want more texture but not so good if you are wanting it relatively smooth!
I just love the look of that fabulous blue toned sprayed background Sam and the Mechanical stencilling with the three different colours of embossing powder sprinkled and heat set makes the stencilling stand out beautifully giving it a 3D look. x
