Stampin' Up! Medallion & Beautiful Wings
Welcome to the Pals Paper Arts 100th Challenge. There are so many things going on my head hurts! There has never been a better time to Play at PPA because you could win a huge selection of Blog Candy. Each of the participating Design Team members are offering Blog Candy all going to one lucky winner. Imagine going to your mailbox and having it stuffed with free Stampin' Up! Products! One lucky winner will get it all. All you have to do is post an entry to the Pals Paper Arts Blog this week. Show us your favorite technique this week - anything you enjoy
doing from embossing to masking to water coloring..........the list is endless! Next Tuesday we will randomly select a winner. IT COULD BE YOU! But you have to play to win. Visit the Pals Paper Arts site to get the links to all the Design Team members sites to see what Blog Candy they're offering.
RULES:
Post your card to the Pals Paper Arts blog by Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Incorporate your favorite technique. Your card must be newly created for this challenge. BUT you can use any product you have in your stash. It does not have to be Stampin' Up! The winner will be announced on Wednesday, July 6, 2011.
My blog candy consists of a Designer Series Paper Pack - In Color for 2010-11, 1/4" white grosgrain
printed ribbon with repeating flower designs. Approx. 15 yds. and 48 flower buttons: 16 ea. in 3 colors. Approx. 1/2" and a 2010 Collectors Edition Stamp which was only available at the 2010 Convention - new and unmounted.
My technique is a masking technique using embossing powder to preserve the Designer Series Paper pattern. I also used the DTP technique (Direct To Paper) to apply the Basic Black Classic ink to the paper once the paper was stamped and embossed.

Putting It Together Tips:
- This technique is very easy but somewhat labor intensive.
-
- Imprint the Medallion with VersaMark onto the Woodland Walk DSP and heat emboss using the embossing powder
- Apply black ink directly from the ink pad to the embossed Woodland Walk DSP making sure that all the small areas in the Medallion impression are covered and no DSP shows through.
- Lay a piece of craft paper over the card and using a dry iron, press the craft paper. While it's still hot slowly peal it away from the DSP. Repeat this process until you have a clear Medallion image.
- One thing I noticed is this techniques seems to slightly discolor the DSP, so wait to match colors until the above process is complete.

Lovely card Mike. The colors are awesome and I love the Medallion (I used it myself on my card) and the pretty butterflies. Enjoy your weekend!

It's so hard to focus on your well-done masking with all of those butterflies taking my attention!! Very nicely done.

Great card Mike! I have done this tech, and love the idea, but mine didn't come out well. I didn't like the paper and then the ink color I chose. Yours is lovely, and I love the added butterflies.

The addition of the butterflies gives this a nice touch!

Mike, this is awesome! Love this technique, but like you said, a bit labor intensive for sure. Are you going to convention this year?
