Color Coordinates with Shari Carroll:Using Embossing Powders
Welcome everyone! It’s Shari Carroll here with a new Color Coordinate recipe for you. I’ve decided to try something new and add embossing powders to the mix of color.
I started out with a panel of Soft Navy cardstock and stamped the Outline Snowflake Background with Simon Says Stamp clear ink. I used Steel Navy embossing powder and heat set with my heat tool.
I die cut the snowflake tag and snowflakes from Neenah white cardstock. I colored the tag using Simon Says Stamp Magnolia ink with a blending tool concentrating the color towards the bottom of the tag. I tapped Simon Says Stamp Clear ink onto the snowflakes with a blending tool and covered with Silver, Antique Gold and Steel Blue embossing powders, then heat set.
Once I had all my pieces completed, I arranged them onto the panel, adhered them in place and finished off with a small message and some gems.
If you are interested in printing out the Color Coordinates and creating a swatch book, I have the downloadable templates available below.

This is stunning and the color combination is beautiful, I love it!
What a pretty card! I love the colour combination, and I wish I could emboss as cleanly as you!
Absolutely stunning color combo and gorgeous card, Shari!
I just came from looking at your instructions for making an SSS Swatch Book. I was wondering if the next time you do a tutorial, perhaps you could just give us a flip thru of your Swatch Book just so I could get a visual of it. I am an older retired crafter and following instructions just doesn’t come easy to me anymore (oh, the ravages of time LOL). By the way, absolutely STUNNING color coordinates. Thanks Shari, so so much!
Very pretty card Shari! The combination of embossing powders is lovely.
Beautiful color combination Shari!! I love non-traditional winter/Christmas colors.

Shari, this card is so lovely. This is a great color combo, just right for the snowflake images. The embossing adds a special touch with its shimmery appearance. Thanks for sharing the card, the color combo, the video and those color combo templates. What a treat!
So pretty Shari! Love all the different types of snowflakes you used on this card.
