PTI Design Team member Heather Nichols showcases how to use multiple embossing powders on top of each other for a fun great designer look.

The clear reddish funky flower was made using red embossing powder. On the dark paper it looks clear except where it overlaps the white flower and you see a hint of the red embossing powder.

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day. :)

The color white evokes a feeling of clean crispness that can't be replicated with any other color.  With winter and snow upon us, there couldn't be a more perfect time to embrace this beautiful color and the blank canvas it creates.  With color taken out of the creative equation, there is no limit to what you can do.  Your challenge is to create a white-on-white card.  While you can add small pops of color or touches of neutrals, the main focus of your project should be the color white.  Layer die-cuts, mix textures created with impression plates, combine multiple ribbon styles, dazzle with rhinestones & pearls, think white heat-embossed patterns and so much more.

What is more fun than a new white sweater for Christmas!

I decided I like this card san sentiment.

PTI Sweater die, Stamper Select White CS, Ocean Tide buttons, Notched Flower die, vellum, Aida IP.
