Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello and happy 2018!  Since it is a new year that means new Clear Scraps products!  I know the design team is excited to share the new designs with you!  Today, I  have a layout I  created using the Dream Catcher Chipboard Embellishments!  And I'm going to share my technique I  used to give color to my Dream Catcher!

I  wanted to do an ombre effect to match the paper of the collection I used for my layout.  So, I  had the idea of using three color coordinating embossing powders to color the Dream Catcher.     Like most of the chipboard pieces, I   applied a few layers of acrylic paint first. Here, I  used white because I  wanted some to show through any areas that were not covered by the embossing powder.  

Next, I   applied my embossing ink followed by the embossing powders.  I    did not have set boundaries for each color and allowed them to "mingle"

And here is the final result! I  love how it turned out! 

Here are additional photos of my layout! You can see the ombre on the chipboard pieces as well!

I  also adding in little enamel dots as well as coordinating stickers from the collection! 

 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Check out the Clear Scraps shop to see all the new releases!
