Dry and heat embossed misted cards

Hello crafters! I have two cards to share today, made with the same embossing folder, but misted with two different types of spray ink.

The technique combines dry and heat embossing for a great textured effect. I used the lovely Simon Says Stamp Tumbling Flowers embossing folder for the cards. The folder comes from the Cheering For You release. The card to the left was misted with Distress Spray Stains and the card to the right was misted with Distress Spritz.

You can use plain white paper, but instead I colored watercolor paper with Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap and a little Pumice Stone. Let the papers dry. Ink the embossing folder with embossing ink. Mist the back of the paper with water and emboss. Cover with clear embossing powder and melt with a heat tool. Always be careful when using a heat tool and do not touch the melted powder until it has cooled down completely.

Mist the first card with various Distress Spray Stains. These are vibrant dye inks and they will mix on the paper and create interesting and sometimes unexpected results.

Mist the second paper with Distress Spritz inks. These inks shimmer a lot. I used a little Ground Espresso Distress Spray Stain around the edges.

The titles were die cut from heavystock paper. The Simon Says Stamp Simple Hello was inked with Salvaged Patina and Mustard Seed and then embossed with several layers of clear powder. The Fancy Hello was embossed with Wow! Crusty Copper powder.

Later I changed my mind, and die cut the mat for the title from left-over inky paper.

To make the title stand out better, I die cut it once from Simon Says Stamp Dark Chocolate cardstock too. The more visible mat is Simon Says Stamp Peacock Teal cardstock. I used the same two papers to create the cardbase.

The title is shiny and colorful. The second sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Season's Greetings.

Since the clear powder will not cover the background entirely, there will be a lot of texture from where the ink has gotten to the paper.

I added Simon Says Stamp sequins to the flowers.

The Distress Spritz card has a more distressed look to it since the colors are muted, but very shimmery and shiny. I added two blue matts to the focal board before mounting on folded black cardstock.

You can see both the texture of the ink in the background on the watercolor paper (underneath the embossing powder) and the texture of the mist. The shimmer is hard to capture on photo since it looks different from every angle.
