Yeah that's right it's my turn to teach you all a new technique
for Tutorial Time on Speedy TV
Just a bit of a story before I get started...
This is not my original idea...I had this wonderful
Stampin' Up demonstrator that did this class
called Tool's and Techniques.
This is where I learned so much...it was a blast...
thanks Bernice for teaching cool tricks....
well now for the tutorial that I learned from her...
Faux Frosting Technique
Tools & Supply List:
·
Dazzling Diamonds glitter or any ultra-fine
sparkly glitter
·
White or clear embossing powder
·
Small container for mixture
·
Multipurpose adhesive glue
·
Heat gun/heat tool
·
Ink pad of choice
·
Stamp of choice
·
Markers for coloring
1-
Mix equal amount of Glitter (any ultra-fine
sparkly glitter will work) with the White or Clear embossing powder, it will
not take much so if you only plan a few of these then just do a small mount.
Mix in a small container and set aside.
Tip~ if you want the color of your
image to show then you will want to use clear embossing powder. I used white
for this tutorial.
2-
Stamp your image of choice. Color it to your
liking.
3-
Now that the stamp is ready to go, add adhesive
glue to the area in which you want to have
the faux frosting look…
4-
Sprinkle powder mixture, glitter and embossing
powder, over the adhesive. Tap off any excess of the mixture.
5-
Apply heat with the heat tool or heat gun until
the ‘frosting’ starts to bubble. Let cool then repeat heating until it starts
to bubble. Let cool. Repeat this until the adhesive glue is dry.
Tip~ when using the heat tool you can heat from behind or
underneath, this way you are less likely to burn your image. Be sure to take
your time. This can take a few rounds of heating and cooling to get it to dry
completely.
Now add a sentiment and add it to a card…whah la you are
done…
There you have it Faux Frosting Technique…easy peasy….and
