This is the other "Embossing and More" card - Faux Metal technique:
It's similar to Cracked Glass, in that you do layers of embossing powder, but in a metallic finish this time, and then while the last layer is still melted, you press a stamp into it. It gives a great effect, and it really does look like metal!
I used one of the stamps from "Priceless" stamp set for mine, and punched it out with a circle punch. I then layered it on a larger circle (1 3/8") and then the scallop circle. Here's a close-up:
Then I made a 'metal' tag by pressing a stamp from "Basic Phrases" into molten embossing powder, and then punching it out with the Word Window punch, and embellishing it with a silver brad. Here's another close-up:
Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Bordering Blue, Really Rust
Other: Cutter Kit, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch 1 1/4" circle punch, Word Window Punch, Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon, Silver brads
That is so cool. I've got to give this technique a try!
ReplyDeleteI tried that too, as soon as I saw the tutorial on SU's sight! It's so fun, isn't it? Your's looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if that was how you did it but wasn't sure if it damaged the stamps - obviously not! - must put it on my to do list !
ReplyDeleteThat is way cool! I will have to try that. I love the look it creates. Great job, tfs.
