Today I have a card I made for the challenge at wow powders today - did you see wor sheena last week brayering with glycerine? Well I had to have a go! I didn't have the folder Sheena used (although I do now lol) so I used an embossalicious clocks one. The verse is from claritystamps and mentions time. The image is from Crafty Individuals.
I started with some kraft card and brayered the embossing folder with glycerin then ran the card through the machine. Afterward I added brass regular powder - and then heat set.
Next I added spiced marmalade distress ink which helped bring the metallic colour out. Then I used a TH layering stencil (bubble) and added grunge paste - whilst it was still wet I added more brass regular and brass sparkle wow powders then heat set. The paste bubbled but I liked the overall effect.
I stamped both the toppers onto kraft card - the image with archival black and the other in versa mark and heat set with more metallic powder.
Finally I put the card together. I think this will be a very useful male card card to add to my card box!
I'd like to enter the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love how you used the sentiment and the tag side by side!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, I'm hoping I'm at the 'right' blog, as I followed you from the Christmas Club. I was intrigued reading all the techniques you described with the glycerin (is this the liquid stuff that you buy in the pharmacy?). It sounds so interesting to do...Your card is so beautiful & unique, and I have just purchased some of the WOW EP's, but not used any yet. Also got some of the melting powder & molds. Just not had time to play as yet. I loved this card, and joined as a new follower. Thanks for your recent visit, and if I'm at the wrong blog for the Christmas Club group (as I see 3 listed when I follow your link) please let me know, so I can be sure I'm commenting at the proper blog. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteGorgeous inky fun Rachel, I saw the technique and now glycerin is on my need to go to the chemist to get some list! Beautiful texture and depth perfect for the WOW challenge too. The verse and the image work together well perfectly Karen x
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card Rachel. Love the embossed background.
