Double Trouble..

Well ok.. maybe not double trouble, but double embossed fun!!

Last week I had one of those.. hmm I wonder if this could work thoughts.. I thought I'd try and see what would happen if I embossed some cardstock first with an embossing folder and then with embossing powder.  So I decided to give it a go..  and this was the result..

 

So I thought I'd share with you all here the very easy steps of how I did it.. :)

 

I first cut my kraft cardstock to my desired size, then ran it through one of my favourite embossing folders.

 

 

 

I run mine back and forwards through my machine, just to make sure I get a nice crisp clear raised image.

 

 

 

 

The next step is to gently swipe your embossing ink over the raised parts of your embossed design. I find it works best if you have your cardstock sitting on a flat hard surface like your desk.

 

 

 

Next step was to sprinkle with your embossing powder,  shake off any excess powder, and then heat set it.

 

 

 

 I then cut my  double embossed design into strips.

 

 

 

The last thing I did was to ink them with various colours of distress ink.

 

 

 

They are then ready to add to your card, layout or project.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my little tutorial, and would love to see if you have a go at using this technique.

 

I hope you have a wonderful day, and hope to see you back again soon :)
