In today’s tutorial, I show you how to use your Mboss embossing powder in Shimmering Night Sky to create an underwater scene. Together with Fireworks spray and Memento ink you can create a gorgeous card straight from a mermaid’s home, complete with sea critters. I show you beginning to end how to create a sea-filled, embossed, and watercolored card.

There is nothing better than using your crafting skills to create a gift for someone. That is what I did for this mum, or chrysanthemum, flower project—a gift for my mom. (Get it – a mum for mom?!) Crucial to achieving this fun look, I used Vertigo in Prism and Mboss Embossing Powder in Hologram. I created a 5”x 5” framed Mixed Media piece full of color and texture. See the video slideshow or my instructions below to see how I get some extra dimension with the Vertigo sheet!
Skill: Advanced Time: 30 minutes
Directions
Step 1
Cut Vertigo into 5” x 5” panel.
Step 2
Stamp the Mum flower onto the center of Vertigo panel with StazOn Pigment Piano Black.
Step 3
On the opposite side of the stamped image, color the mum with VersaMagic ink and Fantastix applicators. Simply touch the tips of the Fantastix to the inkpad to pick up the color and use like a marker.
Step 4
Die-cut the mum with coordinating die.
Step 5
On white cardstock, sponge VersaMagic ink to add color.
Step 6
Stamp script stamp with StazOn Pigment.
Step 7
Add texture to Vertigo panel with Hologram Mboss Embossing Powder. To do this, swipe the front of your Vertigo Panel with VersaMark inkpad. Apply powder sparingly and shake off excess. If you want a more sparse texture, you can always use a dry brush to knock off more before heat setting.
Step 8
Add black paint splatters.
Step 9
Add Tear It Tape to the back side of the Vertigo panel.
Step 10
Adhere tulle between the cardstock and Vertigo panels, then adhere to piece of prepared cardstock.
Step 11
Embellish with sequins.
Step 12
Tie a white string around the panel.
Step 13
Add double sided dimensional tape to the tulle.
Step 14
Spray the Mum Die cut element with GooseBumps for extra shine.
Step 15
Once dry, adhere the mum to the panel.
Step 16
Adhere sticker saying “let life surprise you” sentiment. Add any additional finishing touches and insert into the picture frame.
Imagine has released a new, innovative design in embossing powder packaging! It is in a resealable bag! It is so easy to use and clean up after. The gusseted bottom allows it to stand independently on your surface and won’t tip over easily. The fact that you can pinch the bag while you are pouring the powder onto your project allows for greater accuracy too. I used the Hologram MBoss powder on this star card and it really makes the focal point pop!
Today I am sharing the fabulous new Hologram Mboss embossing powder from Imagine. This fabulous embossing powder is fine for detailed stamping but also sparkles with colors of the rainbow. In this video, I show you how to stamp, emboss and fill in with a watercolor technique. The Memento inks are perfect for creating the peachy blended look.
