Inspiration Journal – Mission Embossable!

A new month means that a new challenge is upon us! For November, the new Inspiration Journal theme is Mission Embossable! We want to see your projects incorporating embossing whether it is with paste, powder or folders. Just link up your project in the challenge post and you will be in the running to win a prize from Inspiration Emporium. I went a little crazy with embossing folders for my project, a set of nine steampunk ATCs.


My steampunk motto is if one gear is good then two, three, four or five gears must be better! The background cards and chipboard numbers were all dry embossed and then I assembled them with all the chipboard gears. To get the faux rusty look I used DecoArt Media products and followed the technique shared by Andy Skinner in this video. In retrospect, I think I should have added another final coat of Ultra Matte Varnish – they still seem a bit on the shiny side.

Be sure to check out the inspiration from the other design team members in the challenge post. You won't be sorry! We would really love to see your creativity, please share your projects with us.

I am also going to enter this ATC set in two other challenges:

The Mixed Media Monthly Texture Challenge and…

the SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenge blog's Winter 'Anything Goes' challenge.

Thanks for stopping by! The supplies I used for this project can be found at Sizzix, Inspiration Emporium or Amazon.
