Wednesday has rolled around already, so it is time for a new challenge at Add a Little Dazzle; this is the last challenge for February. Where has the month gone??
This week the team is texturizing the Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal.
I hope you can join us for this challenge!
I decided I wanted the use of an embossing folder to be the star of the show on this card. I started with a card front sized piece of Wondrous White Craft Metal and embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. But, before embossing, I inked up the raised side of the embossing folder with Delicata Gold ink.
Once embossed, the white metal had areas of the gold Delicata ink on it. I selectively heat embossed some of the roses with gold ep. Then, the embossing folder was reinked and the metal sheet was placed back into the folder, making sure to seat the images in their proper spots. I ran this through the Big Shot and then, sprinkled clear UTEE over the metal. I love the way the UTEE beaded up on the metal once heated up.
Next, using Adirondack reinkers, I colored some of the roses red. I decided I needed a little bit more of something, so colored a few of the smaller flowers with Butterscotch Adirondack ink.
To keep the focus on the embossed panel, I just added some wide red ribbon to the bottom of the card, along with 2 gold leaves and the simple sentiment tag.
I really like the decidedly Asian flair to this card.
