Create bold, gold wall art with embossing supplies.
Heat Embossing is typically associated with stamping and card making. For this project, I decided to experiment a little and use embossing powder to create bold wall art instead.

Step 1The heat embossing tools are required to create an embossed finished. However, you don't have to emboss specifically using a wooden plaque like I did. Canvas, paper, cloth, plain wood, etc. would work just fine.
-
Step 2First choose and print a silhouette. I found mine by searching "bunny silhouette" on Google. There are endless possibilities. Cut out the silhouette using scissors or an Xacto, and tape it onto your surface.
-
Step 3Carefully, stamp the entire cut-out area using a Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad. Then, remove the tape and stencil.
-
Step 4Cover the silhouette imprint with your embossing powder and funnel the remaining powder back into the jar. You can be very generous with the embossing powder - it goes a really long way!
-
Step 5At this point, you’ll have to be careful not to mess up your silhouette at all. If you touch it, the powder will just fall off. Do make sure to clean up around the edges though. As you can see, mine turned out super messy at first, but I cleaned it up with a cotton swap. It’s a little tedious but worth it because after you apply the heat, all of that stray embossing powder will be stuck there.
-
Step 6Once it’s nice and neat, plug in your heat tool, turn it on and hover it directly over the silhouette. You’ll start to see the powder melt and it will become metallic and pretty. Evenly emboss the silhouette making sure not to spend too much time on one section. The tool heats up to 650 degrees so you don’t want it to burn the surface. Your silhouette will dry pretty quickly (in just a few minutes).
