My project today is using craft metal. I love this product and with a few embossing tools you can create some stunning patterns on the surface. If you haven't got any craft metal very thick foil can act as a good substitute but it must be thick.
Penny Black Antique Santa
Distress ink in vintage photo
Spellbinder fancy tags
Pinflair Glue
Stazon Ink in Black
Glossy Accents/Filler paste
Carolling Penguins Penny Black Stamp
Craft metal
Backing paper
Ribbon
Gold mirri card
Brown Mulberry paper
Brown cardstock run through a brick embossing folder
Embellishments
1. Get the craft metal and stamp the Santa in black. Take a thin embossing tool and trace around the outside of the Santa. Turn this over and on the back with a thick embossing tool (and a mouse mat/pricking mat underneath) gently push the metal out inside the outline.
Another good tool to have is a metal texturing tool which looks like a soft pointed rolling pin and is rubbery.
Fill the back of the metal where there are indentations with either glossy accents or filler paste. Leave to dry.
3. Die cut 2 tags one I have used in mirri card the other in a decorative background glitter card.
4. Glue an embellishment to one of the tags. The other, stamp in Stazon, the sentiment from the caroling penguins set.
5. Get a piece of mulberry paper and with a paint brush wet along the side and then tear the paper, making it feather.
6. Attach a piece of ribbon to the mulberry paper.
7. Glue everything down with Pinflair.
Hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did.
Take care, Sue
