Jazz it up – for Visible Image

Jazz it up – for Visible Image

This is a fun technique to do, even if it shows up best in real life, not in photo.
I inked up a piece of paper with yellow and orange tones of distress ink. Swirl and blend them together a bit with blending tool (no inkpad direct on paper). Then I put some white mica-powder on top of it with a brush. I embossed the paper with an embossing folder so it got a 3D look. Then I used this piece on my card as a background to the lovely stamps from the Jazz it Up set.
This technique is called faux metallic and you’ll find a great video of it (where I’ve learned this) at Jennifer McGuire.

Ett kort idag till Visible Image där jag testat tekniken “faux metallic” som jag sett hos Jennifer McGuire. Har testat detta flera gånger nu och det blir riktigt läckert. Funkar med alla färger, blir precis lika fint! Stämplarna kommer från ett set som heter Jazz it Up och ett av olika “musik-kit”.

Behind every mask – for Visible Image

Behind every mask – for Visible Image

Hi! It’s wednesday again and I’ve tried a new (for me!) fun technique with faux metallic look. I’ve seen this at Jennifer McGuire and you’ll find a video over there how to make this backgrounds. Easy done with distress inks, mica powder and an embossing folder.

The beautiful bird image is named Behind every Mask, and I love that it almost become a face with those eyes. The sentense is coming with the bird, in the same set.

Ett kort där jag testat en för mig ny teknik med att göra “falsk metall”. Jag såg det hos Jennifer McGuire och ville testa. Ganska enkelt, även om min embossingfolder ville göra lite väl djupa avtryck, det var nästan så papperet gick sönder.

Den läckra fågelstämpeln och texten är från Visible Image.
