Yes, today is Wednesday—and it is time for another “Wacky Wednesday!”
The host for today’s WW-Challenge is the ultra-sweet Bev Gerard. The very woman who hosted most of the Rubbernecker Design Team, Mr. and Mrs. Rubbernecker, and various stampers who dropped in for an extended weekend in March. So this week—we have the “hostess with the mostest!!”
She has asked us to heat things up with our projects this week!! So get out your irons, heat guns, melting pot—and use them in your favorite heated technique!
I chose to heat up some clear embossing powder with my heat gun.
The silhouetted woman, the shoes and the purses were heat embossed.
***TIP/TRICK***If you want to clear emboss DYE ink—FIRST stamp your stamp on to a watermark or embossing pad THEN onto your dye ink pad.
By clear embossing my images—I was able to sponge my oval (a mask made with a Spellbinders die) and not have it mix with my die ink NOR have it overlap the images.

This is a wonderful card and technique!! The image is stunning and I love how you layered the various images (and thanks for the tip!!!)
Oh, I just went to my 40th HS reunion (class of 69)and this would have been perfect to take. It is so retro.
I love the retro feel of this Jules. The layers of embossed images is just awesome and I love the colors too.
This is great, love how this came out,
I use my dye ink on top of versa mark all the time! Its such a neat trick. Although I go through a lot of clear embossing powder! The colours and silhouette remind me of the sixties, nice card.
Wild and crazy and retro - Groovy! Love the sponged oval shape in the middle!
Wow Jules this is so awesome, love the colors!!
What a FABULOUS design, Jules...love how you layered the silhouette, images and sponged oval...soooo cool!!! Love that retro paper, too!!! In fact, I looked just like that in the
60's.......tall, thin, and tooo hot....giggle!!!!!
This is great Juliana!! Or should I say 'fabulous'?! :)
Super cool card, Juliana!! While Joan also used a silhouette and background images, hers is more warm colors and vintage looking. Yours is really vibrant and hip looking! Wonderful!!!
