Accents with Embossing Powders

Good morning! Jess here with a clean and simple, easily mass-produced Halloween card featuring our Halloween Mirror stamp set!

When I make CAS cards I try to stick to a more monochromatic color palette to keep it truly "simple." But I like to find a little way to make something pop and today I'm using embossing powder from Hero Arts for that unexpected pop! To start I traced a line on my card base with a black pen to give my spider a way to dangle on the card. Then I stamped my sentiment from Halloween Mirror with Versamark along the line using my MISTI and then heat-embossed it with Detail Black Embossing Powder.

I decided to make my spider a little more exciting so I stamped her with Versafine and then heat-embossed her with Black Sparkle embossing powder. Then I added a little red Copic marker to the markings on her back to make her a true black widow spider! I love that the sparkle embossing powder has a rainbow of colors in the glitter which makes my spider just a little cuter and a little less scary, right? ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a fantastic (spider-free) day!
