metal at wow powders

Good morning there lovelies - how are you today? I hope you are well and happy and if you have to go back to work today try to enjoy it. We've got another day with Shaun off and almost a week for the girls. Its supposed to be a mixed bag weather wise today so we may go to Liverpool or Preston - not sure which.

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:

Wowwowembossingpowder - metal

Hope you have a great Tuesday! Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again soon!
