Steps:
- Tape LL447 Fleur de lis to Aqua cardstock with removable tape
- Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply Matte Black Embossing Paste
- Sprinkle with Stampendous Teal Mica Flakes (from EJK06 Encrusted Jewel Teal Kit) and press them into the wet paste carefully
- Sprinkle the whole thing with Sky Blue Embossing Powder (also from EJK06), it has some glitter in it too
- Remove the stencil and place in water
- Heat set the powder, be careful of the mica flakes, pull back if they start to smoke!
- Trim, and mat on a small black mat
- Repeat the steps for the background except only use the Sky Blue Embossing Powder
- Trim and mat with strips of black on two sides
- Mount onto a coordinating card
- Use foam tape to attach the larger Fleur de lis
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but this has incredible texture to it, and a lot of sparkle!
Now, hop on over to the next in line. Don't forget to leave some love for a chance to win, and just 'cuz it's nice!
