I have been having fun, water colouring and layer embossing powders...
Here's Today's Card......
I started by masking off the water colour card and using several Lindy powders,
activated by water for the Ocean.
The bling from them is so pretty.
I then had lots of fun layering and heating embossing powders on a craft mat
and my pancake maker....This ensures the powders don't fly everywhere.
Once the molten powders where cold,
I gentle peeled off the bits to create the texture on my card.
This is a great way to use all those embossing powders that I have stashed away...
I used blingy powders, which created a wonderful and unique effect.
The ship and the sentiment have been stamped
and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I finished off with water colouring the ship with shades of grey.
I had so much fun doing this card and as a technique girl learnt lots along the way.
The CAS Watercolour Challenge this month is Ocean and
The CAS Mix Up Challenge is layering of embossing powders
so I combined both of the challenges....my choice is water colouring
I would like to say a big Thank You to Loll,
from Stamping with Loll for kindly designing my watermark for me.
What a friendly and generous blog community we have....x

I’ve just popped by to say thank you for the lovely comment that you left in my blog today, I really appreciate your visits. Now onto your masterpiece, it’s fabulous and totally different to anything else I’ve seen in blog land. The colour of your sea is amazing but the melted embossing powders look stunning, what an incredible idea. You’ve managed to put so many different things of interest on your card and yet it still looks quite CAS. Bravo to you Mac, you’re such a talented lady. Thank you for inspiring me to try something different. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
Mac that's the most beautiful effect with the embossing powders. OMG you should frame it as a mixed media piece. So in awe of your tallent.

Fabulous card, Mac! The effect of the embossing powders is stunning. xx
Fabulous way of achieving even more from those embossing powders and another amazing creation, I adore the colours you have used. You really should try this out on a larger scale as it would be an incredible piece of artwork and so satisfying.
Thank you so much for sharing.

LOVING your watermark, it's so you.
I am always open mouthed when I visit, you do the most amazing work, so unusual and magnificent, this is AWESOME and so VERY beautiful. I didn't know that embossed powder could be lifted off a mat to use, I'll try that with my VERY limited powders. Thanks

I would never have thought to do this! What a neat idea and beautiful result. It looks fabulous with your stamped sailboat. I totally love this! Hugs, Autumn
WOW!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! (and yes, I was shouting). :) I LOVE this card. So unique, creative and totally YOU! Beautiful ocean and waves with your layers of embossing powders. The texture, colours and dimension are increditble. And perfect addition with the subtle ship stamping and colouring. You are so talented, my friend! xx
How clever! And what a fabulous effect. I don't know what a pancake maker is (!) but I do have an old Melt Pot gathering dust. I hope you don't mind me pinning this for inspiration.
S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G, Mac! Your layered embossed embellishment is gorgeous and is a standout. This needs to be framed and showcased in an art gallery! Love it! xx
Once more I am picking myself off the floor after seeing this gob smackin' clever creation M. You have such amazing talent for Mixed Media it's uncanny. A truly stunning result you have achieved with all that embossing and the way it flows so beautifully - not to mention the colours! What a beautiful calming blu sea. Love the ship and the placement of the sentiment. Even the background to your card is perfect.
PS Love the new watermark from Lol.
Wow, this is an amazing and very beautiful card Mac!!!! That look you got with the embossing powders blow me away. Well, I'm just speechless really. I love it though, so unique, so beautiful! Loll is a very talented and generous lady isn't she?!! Love the new watermark! Hugs, Brenda
Simply amazing! Not only is there so much drama going on with the embossing powders, but you have the perfect ship image and sentiment for this striking card!
Stunning card, Mac! I cannot believe that you created such a great effect with embossing powders only! Wow! Kisses, my friend.
Super cool, artsy card--love it!
What a wonderful artistic card! The layered embossing on the water is fabulous - the perfect setting for the boat.
What a great card, it is amazing.
Mac I love this, it is so brilliant and has me wishing I had a ship stamp so I could make a card just like it, how brilliant is this The colours and wildness of it, I can see the corals there in the waves.
I agree...wow, this looks amazing!!! such great interest, texture and so creative.
Well done.
xx Karen

AMAZING. Hugs Mrs A.
Wow so spectacular Mac, what a masterpiece, the colours of the sea are amazing. A wonderful technique with the molten EP, I love the sailing ship, it reminds me of the scene where Shackleton's ship is lit up whist stranded on the ice, I absolutely love your work, Kate x
Your creations are so unique and stunning to see Mac! Really love the colors you've achieved in your layered embossing! The dimension and style look amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Your new signature is so unique and so you, Mac! Isn't Loll just so creative and generous with her talents:-)
Wow, Mac ... to say stunning doesn't really seem enough! Those layered embossed pieces shimmer and shine so beautifully ... and add so much magic to your fabulous scene ... I'm sure I see sea creature in there! It's Narnia-esque ... I'm thinking Voyage of the Dawn Treader! Hugs, Anita :)
Love the watermark, Mac!! But your card had me gasping out loud. The Mister actually came running to see what was the matter! You seriously need to move on to larger canvas and contact a gallery! No fooling around! You are a bona fide artist both conceptually and practically and you leave me in awe every.single.time!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh my gosh I just love this design and how you used the water colors and layer of embossing powders.
Hugs Diane
Wow, what a fabulous card. I love how you layered the embossing powder. I like the pretty colors. Great job.
I agree with what others have shared, this is so different than what anyone else is doing and so wonderful. It even looks a bit like coral in that one spot. TFS!

Love the blueness of this :) Thank you for joining in The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Challenge :)
This is awesome! love the texture. xxx
Biggest congrats on your win at Artistic Stamper! So well deserved. This is THE coolest!
You blow me away with your mastery of techniques, Mac. That is just the coolest mix of embossing powders. And do I understand correctly, you melted it on something then peeled it up and glued it onto your card? Coolio. As for the scene... I must admit I'm getting a ghost ship and a sea monster vibe. Very Creatures of the Deep-esque. Congrats on your win at Artistic Stamper!
