Compendium of Curiosities Challenge Week 5

Distress Embossing - Boy did I struggle with this week's challenge. Biggest obstacle is that I don't own any distress embossing powder...oh horrors. I know, I know, I should be taken to the woodshed and properly disciplined. I plan to purchase some online as soon as time allows, so please forgive me!! I ended up finding a "recipe" online for distress embossing powder, and although I'm not thrilled with the final results, it's all I have to submit...sorry.

This is a tag that was started a while ago and this little owl (which is distress embossed) was the final touch.

  1. Chrissie, your tag is great, and I love the spooky Halloween look you created!

    I'm sorry the homemade Distress Powder didn't turn out as you'd hoped. I think the real stuff has a very unique composition, and it's probably just about impossible to really get the "time worn" look using regular shiny embossing powder. Nonetheless, you make a wonderful tag, and I applaud you for making it work with what you had on hand!

    Hugs,
    Linda
