This is one of my favorite techniques I have come across so far! And it is a pretty easy process too!
Preparation is key for this process - you will have to move quickly so you have to have everything ready to go. You need a silicone mat, Ranger UTEE, an embossing gun, maya mist (any mist will work too!), a piece of paper (or whatever you want to emboss) and a stencil (if you want to use one).
You ready?
So take a stencil....
Now move quickly.... drench the stencil in mist:
Now carefully pick up the stencil and flip it onto your paper, press it down lightly to transfer all that mist to the paper, peel the stencil off the paper and immediately dump UTEE over the misted image before it has a chance to really soak into the paper.
Did I mention you will get mist all over your fingers?! So it will look kind of like sugar that you spilled in water. Shake the excess UTEE off and start that embossing gun:
Apply the heat until it beads up and looks like water. The key here is to make sure all the "sugar" looking stuff is gone. And voila... you will be left with this!
Yep, that fabulous watery, shimmery image is completely DRY. And embossed. It's seriously my new favorite thing. So of course, I had to try it on chipboard to see if it would work there too.... Success! Just had to move even more quickly before the chipboard soaked it all up!
Looks different on chipboard, but I love this technique!
