Embossing: Stained Glass Technique

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and on behalf of Expert Village, we’re continuing in our series of tips and techniques for embossing when making cards. In this segment, we’re going to talk about what is called the stained glass technique. I already have here a prestamped and colored image. This is a stamped image that has been enhanced with some chalk. What I’m going to do is take this square rubber wood mounted stamp and ink it up with my embossing ink. You want to make sure that is well covered in the ink, and then I’m going to stamp this right on top of my image, pressing firmly down and coming straight up. Then I’m going to take this image and sprinkle on the clear embossing powder, making sure that there is good coverage all around the image. At this point, put this out of the way, and then we’ll heat emboss. You will notice as the embossing powder melts, that because it is clear, the image and the colors underneath will come through nicely. As similar as was done in our image embossing, while it’s still hot, we’re going to put more clear embossing powder on here. Sprinkle it off and heat emboss. If you have a pair of crafting tweezers or scrap booking tweezers, this is a good time to use them to hold the corners so that you don’t burn your fingers. You don’t have to worry about hitting your fingers with that hot blast of air. Just very similar to image embossed that we did in the previous segment. We’re going to do 5-6 layers of embossing. So just continue to emboss so that you’ll have 5 or 6 layers of clear embossing powder heated on your image.
