I just love how the glittery combination of Imagine’s new Mboss Embossing Powders shine. I made this cute pen and pencil holder with Princess Party (silver and purple combination) and Lucky Stars (gold and green combination). I love the way these two colors work together to transform a pencil box from neutral colors to bright vibrant home decor.
Skill: Beginner
Time: 1 hour
Directions
Step 1
Select a cardboard-based pencil box. A plain box works as well. If it has designs it can be covered with gesso.
Step 2
Apply the gesso to the pencil box making sure to paint on enough layers to fully cover the current design. Allow to fully dry.
Step 3
Stamp the textured image with the VersaMark ink. Apply Mboss embossing powders in Lucky Stars and Princess Party. Apply one color in random areas. Shake off the excess on a clean scrap piece of paper and place back in the bag. Apply the second color in the areas that do not contain embossing powder. Shake off the excess on a different clean scrap piece of paper and place back in the bag. Melt the powder with a heat tool.
Step 4
Glue on the flowers.
Step 5
Apply embossing powders on all sides, if desired.
