I have another masculine Christmas card to share.
have some more awesome inspirational pieces to show you.
You can find a link to instructions and video for layered embossing on this post.
This time I used the "skin" that was left over on the parchment paper
from other die cuts.
I melted clear embossing powder on this Tim Holtz die cut tree
then laid the pieces of "skin" on top and let the pieces melt together.
It turned out really shiny and has interesting patterns.
The stars behind the tree are heat embossed too.
The shine isn't showing in the photo.
This also fits with the CAS Mix Up Challenge
Both challenges end on the 24th.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Love this tree with the layers of embossing powders. Such a great way to use up left overs from the encrusted jewel technique. These all melted together perfectly to create a gorgeous tree. Love the swoosh of stars in the background. xx
ReplyDeleteClever and creative use of the skin and the layering of the embossing looks fabulous. The swoosh of the stars look so pretty and the sentiment is wonderful on your beautiful card x
ReplyDeletewow Bonnie, wonderful masculine colours and great use of your left over melted embossing powders.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tree with the layers of embossing powders, Bonnie! Thanks so much for explaining how to use the leftover skin!
ReplyDeleteThe swirl of stars behind the tree is so beautiful and picks up the gold shine in the tree. The linen card panel adds a subtle texture and an organic feeling to the card. Great choice, my friend! Hideko
Your tree is spectacular and the background flourish is just perfect with this. This is just gorgeous Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteJust when I think you have outdone yourself, you do it again! The is scrumptious. The swirl is so beautiful and that tree - oh my gosh. So much color and dimension. Heat index of 103 to 108 today so I may get a chance to try this. Since I didn't get the griddle, I should be able to just set it outside and let it melt!
ReplyDeleteSuch a yummy layered embossed tree, Bonnie! Perfect colors for a guy and I love the swirl of stars behind too!!
ReplyDeleteWow, a gorgeous tree. Love that stamp behind, I can feel the Christmas magic along with the Christmas wish! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the leftovers from previous layered embossing pieces! Love the various shades of green in the tree and the great swirl behind it!
ReplyDeleteWow...would love to see this shiny, artsy tree IRL, my friend. I can just imagine all the shine from the "skin"! Your swoosh of stars adds a magical effect that is so cool. TFS Bonnie. Hugs..

ReplyDeleteMarvellous masculine card, Bonnie! Superb use of the leftover embossing powder skin. Embossing the trail of stars behind it highlights it perfectly. xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, BonBon! I had forgotten about how we melted the skin at the end of our playing and how amazing and fun it was! Your tree is divine!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteThe swirl of stars gives such a magical look to your card, Bonnie, and the skin made a fabulous tree.
