Embossed Metal and Alcohol Ink Tutorial

Hi friends,

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.

This tutorial is on my  NEW WEBSITE

 

 

   In this case, I finished the piece by covering it with black paint and wiping out almost all to just let some darker spots

  Other examples using the same technique with another embossing folder

 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!

Hi Lizzy,

I've just found your post through Marjie. These are so beautiful, blue is my favorite color, and these colors are gorgeaus together, the other two are amazing as well. I need to try this technique. Thanks a lot for sharing!:)
