Alchemy is a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation or combination. And in this workshop, you will be making magic using Baked Texture and Baked Velvet embossing powders from Emerald Creek. Our day will be split into two parts. In Part 1, you will be introduced to a series of non-traditional techniques using embossing powders. You will have a chance to make embossed skins, dimensional elements, faux wax seals, translucent paper, and much more. Many of these stand-alone elements will leave with you to use in future projects. Others will be used in Part 2, where every participant will make magic while making a layered and textured artwork where embossing powder is the star!
