Stamp Connection #18

Hi Everyone,

Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from Little Art Cottage and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our ninth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements:

Heat Embossing on Embossing Paste



So I rummaged through my copious stencil supplies and picked that one from Crafters Companion with all those holes. I used dark grey card stock and white embossing paste. I immediately sprinkled metallic silver embossing powder onto the embossing paste. Then I let the paste dry, before I heat embossed it.


The embossing powder bubbles up a bit, which gives a lovely effect, I think.


I double die cut the word die (fun foam and pink card stock) - it is by Winnie&Walter. Added silver embroidery thread and some gems. 







Linking up with:
The Gossip Column  at W&W - precious metal (silver)
Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Seeing Spots and/or Stripes



Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!


Happy Embossing!

I somehow missed this post, but then, it's been a busy month. Just noticed your card in Taheerah's gallery. Love the graphic look and the contrast that the black, silver and pink provide.
