Just a quick post today as I've got lots of study to catch up on. I started my new job last Monday and then felt unwell from Tuesday night until Sunday, so have really fallen behind. Yay, for the long weekend though so at least I had a bit of a chance to catch up.
This was the second card we made at the Faux Patina technique class a week or two ago and it was inspired from the talented Claire Daly.
Stamp set: Artistic Etchings
Card Stock: Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla
Designer Paper: Subtles Collection Pattern Paper Stack
Ink: Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, Versamark
Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Always Artichoke Seam Binding Ribbon, Antique Brad,
Tools: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Designer Frames Embossing Folder.
This is a very cool technique and it is easy peasy to do. You can make so many different colour combinations, you just have to experiment. I got my info from Angie Leach and you can check out her blog HERE. Angie used the Versamark pad for her final stage, but I chose to use the Versamark pen so I could be more specific about where the gold embossing went. I'm a little bit fussy like that :-) I would love to see what you make, if you decide to give it a go.
Enjoy the rest of your week my lovelies!!
I just had to share this fabulous Journey Flagbook I received as a swap at our Stamp Camp weekend. It was made by Pam Cregeen and is truly amazing!! I can't believe Pam made 25+ of these - that's really impressive, because there is so much work involved. Thank you Pam, I love it and just wish I was going somewhere exotic so that I could use it. Unfortunately, that's not happening any time soon...{sigh}.
You can't see it in the photo, but Pam has spritzed the cover (inside and out) with reinkers mixed together with some type of alcohol (no, not the type you drink). It gives it a mottled look and is a fabulous effect. Sorry, I was listening when you explained the technique Pam and what you used, but I think my brain was sleep deprived and had reached overload, by that stage.
