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 scrappy friends!
I'm the art Superstar at Cut Out and Keep this week. They have tutorials of all sorts and they'll be sharing one of mine each day.  They are oldies but great projects to review.

 

 

 

 

Collage for Patty Tolley Parrish

I've been asked by the super talented  Patty Tolley Parrish to do "something" with the stencils she designs for Istencils. I'm really flattered she chose me, thanks Patti!!!

This is the collage I created

I started with a Gelli print and this Bullseye Stencil

 

 Using a circle mask I painted around it and also added black circles. I ripped copy paper and painted around it as well to create some mountains effect

 These two Gelli prints were also used for some accents on the collage
