A Little Antiquing Fun

Have you heard about Fran Seiford's new book Stampendous recently released, "Embossing Powder TECHNIQUES from A to Z?"  It's 100 pages of everything you will ever need to know about embossing!  Today I used technique W - Antique Embossing Powder Technique on page 68.  This technique mimics the look of old tin ceiling tiles and is one of my new favorites!

If you need a heat gun to try these embossing techniques, Stampendous now carries the Wagner Embossing Heat Tool.  This has got to be the best heat tool on the market!  I've had one for years and I love it.

For today's card, I've gone a little Western with the Horse and Rider stamp embossed and layered over Leather Flowers background stamp.  My grandfather used to do leather tooling and he created some beautiful pieces, much like this stamp!  I still remember sitting on his lap and "helping."

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® Horse and Rider

Stampendous® Leather Flowers

Stampendous® Birthday Assortment Perfectly Clear™ Stamps

Stampendous® Cling Industrial

Stampendous® Clear Deep Impressions Chunky Embossing Enamel

Stampendous® Clear Bark Embossing Powder
