To make the water on this card, I spread some green and white embossing powder onto a non stick sheet. You can also use baking paper for this technique. I also added a sprinkle of white embossing powder and some blue glitter. Once I had the colours I wanted, I used the end of a chop stick to move the colours around. I then folded the non stick sheet in half lengthwise and using my Ranger heat tool I heated the non stick sheet until the embossing powder was all melted. Then I un folded the non stick sheet and let it cool for a few seconds, then with a flat kitchen knife, I carefully run it under the piece of embossing and lifted it off the non stick sheet. Mine was about five inches long, and you can break it or cut it to whatever shape/size you like. It is very brittle so you need to be gentle with it. Save all the pieces that break off because you can use them for another project! Here's a close up below, of the embossed piece I made with that technique. Once you have decided where you want the water/embossing piece, I used some craft glue to adhere it to the bottom of my card, so it looks like King Hopkins is sitting in a pond!

I live with a rare & invisible medical condition that often puts me in hospital without warning. I am also partially sighted with very limited vision. When I am well I like to make cards! I also love photography. I have 2 gorjuss Purr-ritos called "Bella-Rosa", & "Romeo-Valentino". They often end up in my photo's! My simply awesome Soulmate (who remains nameless) said I should create a blog...and here it is! Enjoy!
What an awesome card! Thanks for explaining the embossing technique — it’s new to me and it looks really cool! - Andrea
