Presenting....6 Girls & a Smoking Gun

Today on WOW Embossing Powders blog my team, 6 Girls & a Smoking Gun, posted our first group post. The post was done by our wonderful team lead, Jen Deal, and she did a great job!  So be sure to visit the WOW Embossing Powders blog to see what the very creative girls on my team made, you will be inspired!

But here is a good look at what I made for the post:
I did a 12x12 layout of my Best Friend, Shirley, and I together doing some of the things we love to do.  For this layout I used BoBunnys Gabrielle Collection, WOW Embossing Powders, May Arts & Prima fibers, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Perfect Pearls Mists, and Kaiser Craft bling.


Here are some close ups:
For the chipboard sign holder I first used Versamark ink and covered it completely with Pepper from the Suzy West Pantry Collection. After melting the Pepper, I used little amounts of the Olive & Nutmeg powders. I wanted to give the holder kind of a distressed look so I used my fingers and just kinds of sprinkled the two colors on in little blotches. I then melted them. Next I lightly sprinkled some of the WOW Metallic Gold Rich Pale on the holder and melted it. I love how it turned out!


The butterflies were made by using the amazing the WOW "Build A Butterfly" stamp set. I first stamped the butterfly outline using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Ink on a piece of velum. Next I stamped the inside of the butterfly using Versamark. I then sprinkled the same colors of embossing powders that I used on the holder onto the butterfly to create the same distressed look. This was a trick I learned from some of my fellow WOW Design Team members!



Well, thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to visit the WOW Embossing Powders blog and Facebook Page for more projects and fun contests!

Sherrie!
