I have a video from SU that is called "Workshop WOW". It has a technique shown where you take Metallic paper, and emboss it with Metallic Ink, then brayer over the top with a color. It's called "Brayer Over Embossing"and is by Lisa Hirsch, it really is a WOW! I have looked and looked high and low for this video (I watched it right after convention...who knows were I put it....I have the empty case though, that certainly is helpful isn't it?) Okay, so I thought I could most likely figure out exactly what to do by the name listed on the back of the CD box....Brayer over Embossing. Brilliant huh? So here is my attempt at this technique and it is also one of the cards we will be making at my December Stamp camp....it is a MONEY card. (the kind my kids love best. They actually do a money chant over each card they get in the mail "Money, Money, Money, Money, Money" they say as they hold the card in their left hand with their right hand hovering about an inch over the card and circling clockwise. It seems to work for them. strangely enough. Any how, as I was saying before being distracted by the sweet money chant, here is my card:
Isn't it pretty? I is gold metallic paper with gold embossed snowflakes, and then I used Burgundy ink and brayered it over the top. It comes out with almost a copper look to it. You can use any colors, and believe me, I tried many combinations before landing on this one. Some are not pretty...but, you learn by trying...and I am so glad I tried this! You will get to try it too if you are coming to my stamp camp.
