It has been ages since I have played in the WT challenge. When I saw Something Old, Something New I thought this might be the perfect opportunity to play around.
Something Old: Embossing Folder, Candle and Label
Something New: Sentiment, Altenew Ink
Something Borrowed: Technique Idea
Somthing Blue: Background, Sentiment, Sequins I was watching videos earlier this week on the Nuvo mouse which had me wondering about ways to use it. I embossed both dry and heat embossed my panel first then with my finger I applied the mouse. It even attached to the heat embossed area, which I did not expect, but I like the look anyway, and just took care not to have it everywhere. I then mixed the green with a bit of water and and dragged my candle through it. For the light I used gold wink of stella, then Wink of Stella brush over the top to move some of the gold, but keep it lighter. I die cut my label, then placed the piece in my Misti and stamped the image using the Altenew Persian Blue and attached. I then attached the candle on foam dots and finished with a few sequins. A fun challenge today, and thank you for having a look. aplaceforkia

Pretty card, Kia, and a wonderful technique. Wish I could remember to use my Wink of Stella. Your candle shows up really good.

I'm intrigued by your technique, it gave a beautiful result. It looks a bit like ceramics, with the heat-embossing. A great fresh look for that old EF. Thanks for playing along with the challenge today.

Hmmm - Mousse is something new to me but I love how it works with your word folder. I have some EF like that and couldn't figure how to get color on them that looked the way I wanted - this is really cool!
