Hello friends. It seems impossible that it's April 1st already!
It's time for another challenge at CAS Mix Up.
This month Susan is hosting the challenge
I'd never done this technique.
Lucky for me, Susan found us some video tutorials to help us along.
You can find them at the challenge.
I found that you HAVE to use a lighter color of embossing powder first
or the second color won't show up.
I also had to try more than one layering stamp. The first one didn't work well.
For my dragonfly, I stamped the solid stamp of the wings first and
emobssed with silver embossing powder.
I lined up the lacy wing stamp by laying it on the design and
closing the lid of my MISTI. I stamped with the embossing pad and
heat embossed with Rose Gold embossing powder.
The second layer had the dragonfly body on it so I tried to wipe
the ink off the stamp so's not to emboss the body yet.
Luckily there is a separate stamp for the body.
I lined it up, stamped with embossing ink and heat embossed with
some Magical Embossing Powder and Wow!
I love this Teal! Thanks, Loll!
I used a piece of embossing that was cut down and dipped the
edges in a Delicata ink pad that matches the Rose Gold Embossing.
A stamped and heat embossed sentiment on a strip finishes it off.
Here's a shinier close up.
My mixed media are layered stamping, layered heat embossing, dry embossing, and die cutting.
I hope you'll give this a try and join us at
Our Design Team and our Guest Designer Bozena, have
some awesome inspiration pieces to share with you.
I'm also going to pop in at Just Us Girls Challenge
where Sue has chosen....
I do love my embossing folders!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautifully done, Bonnie! Love the rose gold with the teal! And perfect on the simple embossed background with the matching rose gold edge.
What a beautiful card, Bonnie. Super well done and thanks for telling us how you did it.
Wow, what a gorgeous layered heat-embossing birthday card, Bonnie! I LOVE your Rose Gold and Teal embossed, beautiful dragonfly! It has so much texture too.
