Spellbinders Serenade of Autumn 3D Folder and Distress Mica Stain Sprays

 

The new Spellbinders Serenade of Autumn Collection is gorgeous. I received the 3D embossing folder from the collection. I've wanted to try a technique on Instagram that I saw from @ritzyhag a variation of the Joseph's Coat technique. She put down many colors of Distress Oxide inks and then used an inked embossing folder over it, then colored in the background with a dark marker.

I changed it up a bit, I embossed my Distress Mixed Media Heavystock paper with the new Spellbinders Serenade of Autumn embossing folder after I ran a brown Distress Archival Ink pad over it. I then immediately poured clear embossing powder over the entire panel, heated it, then sprayed the panel with Distress Mica Stain Sprays in various Halloween and Holiday colors. 

Unfortunately, the clear embossing powder didn't stick to all the areas I wanted it to, I wanted it to act as a resist to the Distress Mica Sprays. So I went over it with a brown marker. It made the leaves stand out and in the end was beautiful. I think if I had cleaned my folder (with rubbing alcohol) then ran an embossing ink pad over the folder and rerun it through the Big Shot, more embossing powder would have adhered to the panel and worked better as a resist. I've done this before, on a card made to look like a ceramic tile, I have it on my blog.

 

Here is my YouTube video tutorial if you're interested, I link all the products I used in the description on the video post. If you want to know all the colors I used on this card, I give them as I use them on the video.

I greatly appreciate you looking at this tutorial and/or the video. If you like the video please give it a thumbs up on YouTube, it really helps me. 

I don't list all the products I used here on my blog because when I do, Blogger flags my video as Spam and deletes it until I request a judgement from them. I think it's to prevent Spammers from posting on their site. So again, if you want to know the products, they are listed and linked on the description box of the video. Thanks to those who use the links, it helps me greatly.
