Happy Harvest

For the Fun Friday Halloween Challenge Click Here

 

 

Hi everyone thank you all so much for your positive thoughts

during Hurricane Sandy

She turned west and did not come as far north as they originally predicted

so here in the Capital region of NY only got some rain and wind

and were spared.

Southern Parts of NY, NJ and PA

were not so luck and Sandy is now creating major snowfalls in the Midwest

Geez I am thinking I should become a weather girl....

I embossed this with my cuttlebug Birds & Swirls I inked this layer with Jenni Bowlin Brown Sugar.

Next I tool some vintage black twine and put that in modge podge and wrapped it around a plastic knitting needle let it dry and then pulled it off to make the curls added a button from Papertrey Ink autumn mix and a little rustic jute button twine

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
