Be Inspired Wednesday - Embossing powders

Scroll down for my Betty Bee's Buzz post and a giveaway! :)

This week at Passionately Artistic we were instructed to use embossing powders as a resist or to distress. I decided to use them to resist.

I have never done this technique before and really enjoyed it! 

Recipe:
Embossing Powder: Filigree Gold purchased from Paper Trey Ink™, a la Mode in white™
Paper: Paper Trey Ink White™, Ripe Avocado™
Ribbon: Paper Trey Ink Satin Dark Chocolate™
Hero Arts gem stones
Sentiment: Hero Arts™
Ink: Momento in brown and Color Box in Olive
Stamps: My Mind's Eye: I believe Stamps™

Instructions:

1. This card is a typical 4.25"x"5.5".  
2. I heat embossed the gold leaves and sentiment using Filigree Gold embossing powder.
3. Then I used a piece of paper towel to rub on the olive ink and worked it towards the center.
4. Heat emboss the white wreath stamp onto the Ripe Avocado™ card stock. 
5. Use a piece of paper towel to rub the Momento ink onto the edges of the free hand cut paper.
6. Place piece of Paper Trey Ink Dark Chocolate Satin ribbon around the card. Adhere.
7. Use a foam dimensional to pop the wreath cut. 
8. Make a bow from the Dark Chocolate satin ribbon. Adhere.
9. Place Hero Arts self-adhesive gems™ where some of the berries might be.

This also qualifies for Kim's challenge at Off the Wall Craftiness:

The balloon swatch is a little more yellow so I changed that to gold. I hope that's okay! :)
