FAUX PATINA CARD

This was from a recent class .  We brayered crumbcake over the vintage wallpaper folder prior to embossing, then sponged with baja breeze, old olive then early espresso.  Then dried it off and dabbed versamark on it & gold embossed.  The faux stitching went through both the whisper white & the mat to give deep textured faux stitching.  A first attempt & it was fun. At each stage of the process from the brayered folder embossing look, to each of the sponged colours it looked as though it would make a great card.

GIFT BOXES LIKE LITTLE CUPCAKES

These super cute boxes are inspired by the lovely Rachael Knight who gave me a basket of 2 blue & 2 pink as a gift swap after convention.  I just love them and we will be making them at our next class.   The flower on the front two is the crysanthamum and the back pink one is the scallop flower.   Ooh imagine them filled with chocolate.
