Peace - With Annas Craft Cupboard

Good morning I am here today with another layout using the stunning Alexandra Renke - Magic Flower Collection for Annas Craft Cupboard. Today I am looking at Embossing Powders and how they can be added to create a stunning mixed media background and hopefully you will be inspired to pull out your old stamps and give it a go.

#117 /365

So why use Embossing Powder?  Hmmm apart from its pretty and glossy.  It is a permanent medium that resists any other medium and it is activated by heat. So its perfect for creating your own background and making your own resist style papers. It comes in a range of colours, brands and styles.

I have chosen gold for my background but you could use clear..... if you did that you could have a transparent background - another step further would be - to remove the powder off with an iron and computer paper after you have finished with your mist - to remove the shine of the powder.

Alexandra Renke Poppy Paper - Red

Carabelle Studio Cling Stamp A6 - Background: Butterflies

 Let me know in the comments if you have tried this technique.....

Only For You - For Annas Craft Cupboard

Good morning how are you all? I am here today for Annas Craft Cupboard  Its been a crazy month especially with Book Week and all the Beyond the Page creating has made me  miss my scrap desk... 

Especially because I get to play with the ever stunning Alexandra Renke - Magic Flower Collection.

This range is complements mixed media perfectly so over the next couple of layouts I am going to share with you 4, yes I said 4 video tutorials using some simple mixed media techniques to get you to play and get a little messy.

So to kick it off, I am using Clear Gesso.....

Why Clear verse white? For me its always clear first especially if I am not totally sure how the layout will evolve. Clear allows your to ''seal'' your page without changing the colours of your mediums, helps stop colour from soaking through..... Its a resist medium. If you where to use a White Gesso in my layout it would soften the colour....
