In Colour Faux Patina

This is the card Karen and I taught at our recent Extravaganza, we used the 2013/2015 In colours, it is a fairly easy technique you might just get your fingers inky, you start off by brayering ink over the inside of your embossing folder then running it through the Big Shot. the next step is take a sponge to add different colour inks onto your embossed piece of cardstock but don't cover it to much you do want some white space left. next dab some versamark in patches then cover with gold embossing powder and heat set.

Stamp set: Chalk Talk
Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Canteloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Versamark

Birthday Zebra

I saw a card made by Sandi McIver  using the Zebra from Zoo Review and Modern Medley DSP,  I just had to make one but changed it up by making it into an A5 card and using silver embossing powder instead of gold, I  have used the Banner Greeting set for the Happy Birthday and matted that onto Whisper White cardstock.

If you look closely the strip of basic Black cardstock has been run through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

Ink: Black Staz On

A Few of My Favourite Cards

 Here are a couple of cards I cased, the first one is of a swap I received from Ria Kaire in Whangarei at our team training, I have changed it up by adding a base card of Bermuda Bay card stock using one of the Gorgeous Grunge stamps.
