Use up a magazine #4

I decided to pick up the magazine kit again after putting it aside for other projects and made two cards where the focus was on the embossing folder.

As with the previous cards from this kit I filmed my process and it’s up on my YouTube channel now along with all the others in the Use up a Magazine playlist.

These are the two cards I made.

The first is using the embossing folder straight onto the pink card and then using white ink to highlight the line art and then painting the image with a pink ink to just give it more definition.

I also added wink of Stella to the bird to give it shimmer. Then I created a cluster for the sentiment and added in the gold coloured foiled cardstock to add some shine and richness!

I think it is pretty but was also really easy to make.

The next one I flipped over the folder and then added ink to the elements that were not debossed to darken the panel. I think this added an interesting finish and I love the texture my messy brayer added!

This time I did add some patterned paper to ground the panel on the card and again a little bit of foil to the mat of the sentiment to add a different texture.

For both I added gold gems and the gold thread which I think helps add some softness to the cards.

Happy crafting!
