Altenew Level 2 AECP - Impressive Heat Embossing Techniques

This post shows how I create five cards for the Altenew Educator Certification Program Level 2 class, Impressive Heat Embossing Techniques taught by the very talented Svetlana Marchenko. I was reminded of the many techniques of embossing powder and the one technique that I have always been partial to is emboss resist. I also created a card with Ombre embossing and one embossing on vellum. Creating faux metal die cuts with embossing powder is also fun and looks great on a card - I have a faux metal element in each of the five cards!

Do watch the video below on how these cards were created.
