Cuttlebug embossing with Glitter Mist!

Jenn M. here (aka Captain Scrappy) for this week's Fab Friday. Thanks for joining me today! I'll be showing you 3 different ways to use Glimmer Mist with Cuttlebug embossing.

Supply list:

Glimmer Mist

Cuttlebug embossing folder (I used D'vine Swirl)

Plates A, B, B

Cuttlebug

4 pieces of cardstock (approx. 5"x4")

For the first sample, I first ran a piece of cardstock thru the Cuttlebug using D'vine swirl. After embossing it, I sprayed Huckleberry Glimmer Mist on it.

For the second sample, I sprayed the Glimmer Mist on the cardstock before embossing it.

before:

after:

The first two ways produced very similar results.

For the third sample, I sprayed the embossing folder with Glimmer Mist first, then embossed my paper. (Don't worry, it washes right off!)







I sprayed the embossing folder liberally with Glimmer Mist and this was my result:

The cardstock was pretty saturated, but had a really neat effect. Some parts were darker than others, and the embossing is lighter. If you heat set this, the embossing should stay lighter. I let mine air dry over night, so the Glimmer Mist was more absorbed into the embossing.

For the last sample, I used the same technique (spraying the embossing folder directly), but this time, I sprayed just a little. My result:

Here's all 4 samples together:



For a finished project I decided to use Samples 1 and 2 on an 8x8 double-page spread:
