Ciao a tutti! Lunedì è sinonimo di nuova sfida su Simon Syas Stamp Monday Challenge Blog! Oggi vogliamo vedere cosa significa per voi EMBOSS IT! Fateci vedere quale genere di embossing preferite e cosa potete inventare! Questa è la seconda settimana che ospitiamo come Designer spotlight Kassa aka Delight in the detail, andata sul suo blog, è un'artista fantastica!
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
Today the challenge is
EMBOSS IT
This week we are using embossing folders, heat embossing and using embossing pastes. If you can think of other ways to emboss we would love to see your techniques too!
This is the second week we have as Designer spotlight the lovely and super talented Kassa aka Delight In The Detail into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t seen Kassa’s blog then you are in for a great treat! Please pop by and leave her a comment.
Oramai lo sapete che il tema marino è uno dei miei preferiti, probabilmente per via dei colori che di solito si usano in queste creazioni!
Il mio embossing è a caldo usando le polveri Stampendous sulla fustella Sand & sea. Mi piacciono queste polveri perchè sono mixabili in modo eccezionale e io sono una "piccola chimica", nel senso che adoro mischiare e sperimentare! Per il background invece ho proseguito sul Paper Mosaic kit, della tag di Aprile!
You know I love the sea theme! Sand & sea die by Tim Holtz/Sizzix is perfect for this challenge! I love to mix embossing powders. For my project I used various Stampendous powders: Stampendous SHABBY WHITE Embossing Enamel, Stampendous AGED IVORY Embossing Enamel and a little pinch of Stampendous AGED COPPER Embossing Enamel. Background was created with the Paper mosaic technique: it seems really the ocean!
Cominciamo dall'alto: il piccolo cerchio entro cui passa il nastro è embossato a caldo seguendo QUESTO tutorial della geniale Wendy Vecchi, che fornisce una vera ricetta, con tanto di dosi da usare per ottenere questo risultato! Provate è fantastico!
Sulla sand dollars invece mi sono sbizzarrita con le polveri Stampendous: Aged Ivory, Shabby white e un pizzico di Copper. Nei contorni Distress Crayon Walnut stain!
La parola SEA invece l'ho ricavata dalla Stacked Word Christmas Decorative strip di Tim Holtz, che qualche anno ce l'ha ma a me piace sempre tantissimo! Ho tagliato su cartoncino Craftcore core'dinations e embossato a caldo con polvere clear.
Let's start from the top: the small circle was created following THIS brilliant Wendy Vecchi's tutorial, which provides the recipe, complete with dosages to be used to achieve this! You try: is fantastic!
On sand dollar I had fun with the Stampendous powders: Aged Ivory, Shabby white and a pinch of Copper, Walnut Stain Distress Crayon on the edges.
The base of the star is Grout (paper Mosaic kits) colored with a drop of Walnut Stain Distress paint and the mosaic is made with scraps of Dapper collection.
I obtained the word SEA from Stacked Word Christmas Decorative strip of Tim Holtz: I cut it on cardboard Craftcore core'dinations and embossed with clear powder.
Per lo sfondo come vi ho detto ho usato la tecnica della tag di Aprile , ho preparato una base con alcohol ink ( i colori che ho usato li trovate in fondo nella lista dei materiali) e con la fustella Mixed medis 3 Thinlits. Ma quanto mi piace questa tecnica? All'inizio non credevo e invece mi ha davvero appassionato!
For the background, I used the technique of April tag, I prepared a base with alcohol ink ( you find all colors I used at the bottom in the supplies list) and I cut with the punch Mixed Media 3. How I love this technique?
Il pesciolino non lo troverete in nessuno shop perchè..... era il pendente di un orecchino spaiato che ho conservato e che avevo fatto io!!! Ovviamente era diverso, nella parte centrale aveva delle righe arancioni veramente orribili, ma l'embossing a caldo ..... risolve molti problemi!
You'll not find the little fish at no on line shop ..... because it was the pendant of an unpaired earring that I have kept! Of course it was different, in the central part had some really horrible orange stripes, but heat embossing ..... solves many problems!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!
So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!

Glorious - the glossy mosaic fragments make the light dance and dazzle as it does on the water as you sit beside the sea - a magical effect and a brilliant summer time tag. Your sandy sand dollar is genius!
