Well, I was considering that and thinking of a way to update it and my eye fell on my drawer full of WOW embossing powders. You may remember my glitter highlight card. Still working on a few things to share at some point but still no quite there yet! I think I will see if I can make them work with these. I have a set of images from one of The Octopode Factory sets that I printed and cut out, then decided they weren’t right for the backgrounds I had made. I have a lot of stencils and many, but not all, work really well for this. Here is another idea then – I got out a handful of stencils, and with a small stylus/dotting tool, drew thru the stencil to deboss the pattern but keep the back of the card flat. The problem with that is that the card … contracts a bit, I guess, when embossed so it is slightly smaller than ATC size ( very slightly, but still) and the back is lumpy so harder to stick the back with the info on to it. I know the extreme shine makes it hard to see, but the smooth application after pushing it down to the ATC substrate with the scraper (use a credit card – it’ll probably work close to the same with enough pressure) is smooooth.Ī couple of the things I have been trying are embossing the card with an embossing folder then colouring it with alcohol markers OR dripping or sponging on alcohol ink or acrylic ink. I found this little scraper/spreader from Letratac that works a treat: For me the real issue is getting it smooth. ![]() It is not QUITE wide enough to cover an ATC in one pass, but I have been experimenting with either landscape or portrait strips abutted or slightly overlapped.
