Tone on Tone Metallic Heat Embossing!

Hello Everyone,

It’s been a while since I did any heat embossing. This idea came about as I have been using a lot of Wild Wheat cardstock as a substitute for gold, so I extended that to copper and silver…

I have used Medley Mix and the coordinating Inked and Tiled punches to create the background panel.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial

Here is the original card with Wild Wheat and gold heat embossing.

And finally, I also used copper embossing powder on Copper Clay cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
