Speedy Fox & Friends 125 - Favorite Technique


Happy Weekend!!  This week's Speedy Fox & Friends challenge is to make a project using your favorite technique.  So many techniques, so little time!!!  I look forward to seeing all the different techniques used this week and reading about your choice of technique! You can link up your project  HERE!



I had a hard time deciding on a technique to showcase.  I have so many that I love but I decided to go with heat embossing.  My sister gave me my very first powder and a heat gun over 10 years ago.  I never took the heat gun out of the box or opened the powder!!!    Last year when I began to paper craft, I remembered I had these items tucked in a plastic container in my closet!!! 

 I love sprinkling on the powder and watching it change into a shiny coating when heated!  I have used this butterfly from MFP a Heinrich Co. Today, Tomorrow and Always quite a bit and I  heat emboss it every time!!!  For this project I painted the inside of the butterfly with Perfect Pearls.  Here is a close up so you can see the effect of the heat embossing.

I used two MFP a Heinrich Co. stamp sets:

  6. Gorgeous card, Angie. You got a good photo to show off the embossing. The butterfly looks super and I love your dp.

    BTW, the stamp you mentioned on my 'Fall Leaves with a Message' card is one I picked up at Michaels or Hobby Lobby, I believe. If not, Inkadinkado has it online if you still want it. I do really love it.
