Technique Tuesday & WOW! Embossing Powder Blog Hop

Hi there!
Welcome to the Day Two of the Celebrate Summer with Technique Tuesday and WOW! blog hop and giveaway! You must be arriving from Sidnie's blog ( if you skipped a stop, you can start the loop here or check the bottom of the post for a list of all the hop participants).

I am so happy to be part of today's celebrations with all these super talented ladies (like, how awesome are their cards!). I love how each is starting their summer with their lovely projects, so i decided to join them with an entry to my Family Album (Life Crafted Album from Citrus Twist Kits).

What is Summer without ice cream? Well, my family happens to be ice-cream lovers (not me!) so, i pulled a few pictures of a them ( a few days ago) to create this layout.

I started by using the WOW Rose Glint and Gold Pearl powder to heat embossed the ice cream treats from the Memory Keepers Studio Sweet Summertime Stamp set. Each image was then detailed with watercolors, and set to dry completely.

Once the images dried completely, a fine brush was used to add a coat of embossing liquid to the images in order to detail them. Here i used a combination of WOW Metalline Himalayan Musk embossing powder, Taffeta Pink Embossing Glitter and Gold Pearl embossing powder to add details and that extra sparkle to the layout.

The layout background was created using papers from Echo Park's Best Summer Ever collection. For the right side of the layout, i used the embossed Sweet Summertime images to create clusters around the picture. Here a small label was created using the Essential Stitched Label Crafting dies; this was placed at the bottom cluster so that it can hold the lines of journal.

For the left side of the page, i decided to add three smaller pictures of my family and then create a large cluster/line of the embossed images to the left side of the page. I placed the title on the center photo; for this i used the Cool and Sweet Word Crafting Dies to cut a few words from white cardstock. These were stacked together to add dimension to each word, and then embossed with the WOW Pink Tafetta and Black Twinkle embossing glitter. The word "Treat" from the Sweet Summertime stamp set was then embossed using WOW Rose Glint embossing powder to complete the title.

I love how the WOW Embossing Powders bring the perfect sparkle and detail to the Sweet Summertime images and Cool and Sweet Word Crafting dies in this page. I hope this inspires you to check all the embossing powders and of course stamps and dies and combine them in your next project, and now let's check the fun part of this blog hop.
