The video is about how to emboss metal sticky foil and paint it with alcohol inks, hope you enjoy it!
For those of you don't know how to use embossing folders, I have a photo tutorial at the bottom of this post.
In this case, I finished the piece by covering it with black paint and wipping out almost all to just let some darker spots

Other examples using the same technique with another embossing folder
In this case I didn't apply black paint

This one has no gesso and the finish touch was made with a metallic wax
How to use embossing folders
First you'll need an Embossing/Die Machine like Sizzix - Texture Boutique Embossing Machine Only, Sizzix - Big Shot, Spellbinders - Grand Calibur (any will work).
You'll also need an embossing folder . The ones I used here are Embossing Folders - Bingo and Patchwork Set , Embossing Folders - Numbers and Letters and Checkerboard and Cracked Set but there are TONS of designs.
Insert you paper into the embossing folder
Run it through your machine (follow the instructions of your specific device)
You're done!
The video is great! The sample of no gesso and metallic wax is beautiful, do you know the name of
The embossing folder used on that piece?

I saw your alcohol ink card on Pinterest and now follow you on YT, FB, Pinterest and your blog. I LOVE your creations. More people need to be aware of your artistic talent. The apron you painted for your daughter is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
FYI: I attempted to leave a comment on YT, but for some reason it wouldn't post.

Just come from watching the fabulous video! Seeing them here reiterates what brilliant results you have achieved & actually, my fave (possibly because of colours) is the last one, without gesso & with wax finish ~ truly beautiful!!😀
