Embossed Feather Flower Tutorial

I have been thinking about this project and finally did it.  If you have never embossed don't be intimidated by the term it is great for all sorts of crafts and is mostly seen in paper crafting.  Here is a tutorial to make this embossed flower. 

To start you need :
embossing powder you can find a great selection at stampamania.com
glue pen
embossing gun not to be mistaken for a blow dryer
flowers
glue gun found at hobby lobby stamamania.com
feathers (optional)
Okay lets begin before another child tells me they have to go potty- potty training!!

At this point you will pick which flowers you want to use and take them apart.  I chose to use 3 different style yellow flowers.  Then I restacked the flowers in the order I wanted them to go.

Now you will take your glue pin and draw where you want embossing powder to go.  This glue dries fast so do a few petals at a time. 

Then pour your embossing powder over the glue.  I like to do this over a coffee filter so I can pour the unused embossing powder back in the container.

Then take your embossing gun which works very similar to a hair dryer, and melt the embossing powder.  You should see a change in the powder where it gets glossy looking.  I did this to several pieces but not all of them and came up with this:

After I finished I felt it needed more embellishing so of course I had to add feathers. Now it is time to head over to the wonderful glue gun!!

 you will now glue your flower together

I added a rhinestone in the middle and a bee.  I glued it on a lined alligator clip.  For fine hair add a piece of that cushion shelf liner to keep from slipping out of the hair.
