The challenge this week is ...
METALLIC
We'd like to see CLEAN & SIMPLE cards with something that has a METALLIC finish to it... ink, embossing, card, charms, actual metal...
First I gold embossed hearts .....
then I silver embossed stars .....
then I copper embossed leaves ...
all very pretty but the hearts weren't very exciting and the second two don't quite fit the LIM style!
So I got out my alcohol inks and dropped some onto a foil plate, then I cut out with a Tim Holtz die then embossed with various embossing folders ... think this has a bit more impact!
(I'll try and get a better photo in daylight tomorrow)
Mountain Rose & Purple Twilight Inks
Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die
Victorian Fleur, Swiss Dots and a small 'love' Embossing Folders
Thank you all for paying me a wee visit.
Have a great week.
