Have a whale of a time

It's time for a new challenge at The Male Room today and this time embossing is the star.

I wanted to create a background using different shades of embossing powder for this card so I started by swiping my embossing stamp pas in wave like motions across my paper and embossed first a layer of dark blue embossing powder, then a very light pearlescent blue powder. I then used a glittery white powder and a few spots of silver powder. I then used liquid glue and drew a few stripes og the blue surface that I covered with silver embossing powder and melted these as well creating dimensional silver waves.

I love this background. Take a look at the detail picture below to see how the waves shine.

I cut my card panel to size using a stitched rectangle die and colored the middle part of the panel using left over ink on my blending brush to create a light blue sky. I then matted my panel using black card stock.

I die cut a stitched circle using white card stock and stamped and silver embossed my sentiment. I also stamped and silver  Both the whale tail and the sentiment is from a stamp set by Papercraft Essentials.

I colored the tail with my copic markers before I glued it to my scene.

I attatched my card panel to a craft card base and popped the sentiment circle up on foam tape and glued it to the bottom left corner.

My finishing touched was a few Nuvo drops across the card.

I hope you will join us in using embossing for fun and beautiful cards the next couple of weeks.
