AS I am back on Hochanda today at 9am, 12pm, 4pm and final call at 7pm then I am stretching the vintage Friday idea in that I am using a vintage embossing folder on today's sample from the shows! Full Vintage Friday next week promise ( I know I said that last week but I get confused lol)
I stared by embossing a piece of black foundation card with the honeycomb haven A4 embossing folder I then 'grouted' this using Sue Wilson's paper grouting technique using Berry Red sparkle texture paste from Cosmic shimmer ( I will be demoing this at some point today for anyone who has missed it in the past)
Next I cut the jewelled heart die from black foundation card and gently smoothed over silver metallic gilding Polish to highlight the beautiful detail on this die. I added this to a grouted panel made using the 8x8 love hearts embossing folder. I cut this panel into 2 and left a gap in the rich red background piece.
The treat cut I added sliver chocolate wedding sweets and the new iced flake glitter jewels ( don't worry about getting the sweets out they aren't that nice!)
This is indeed a very beautiful card John,enjoy your shows . I have a busy day ahead so i am hitting the record button .

ReplyDeleteMorning John, super duper card today, watched the show last night and again this morning (just in case I missed anything), you did Sue proud, all those little tips etc. they really are so useful, I have a tip for you.........make sure you have your polishing cloth with you today ha ha !!" but at least it proves that the colour does not come off on your shirt cuff.

Eh up John
ReplyDeleteNot big on the treat cup thingy but the card is magnificent. Love the opulent drama of the black and red.Great show last night. Hope no one from DVLA was watching as I'm not sure you're supposed to pimp up your licence with glitter paste lol!
Will get to watch the 9am show to keep my mind occupied with something nice and crafty.
