Blog Hop The Crafting Misfit

A big thanks to Rebecca over at the Crafting Mistfit for inviting me to this GREAT blog hop.
It is all about a new technique or using a new material. I have been wanting to try this Faux metal technique. This technique can be done in silver, gold, copper any color will work. You need Versa Mark or any Watermark stamp pad and embossing powder and matching card stock.

Start with 5.5x 4.25 paper cover complete with versamark then with the embossing powder

next heat the embossing powder

this is the result

let the paper cool and repeat 3 to 4 times

next cut into 1.25 squares you will need 12

Arrange the squares in the embossing folder

of your choice

select the most appealing element

the squares will amazingly look like metal.

apply these to black or dark card stock

leave small gaps to look like grout lines

the center a black mat 2.75 x 4.25

blue layer 2.5 x 4

white 2.25x3.75
