March Technique

I had technique class last week, but have been sick all week and just getting my samples posted. Being Easter is right around the corner, I had to do an Easter basket. Don't remember where I got the pattern, I think I got it off the SU site. I also used the scalloped oval frame. The next technique was basically like a resist technique. The base was glossy cs, stamp your detailed image, then brayer over using your lightest ink, then stamp the next medium color, then the darkest ink all using the same detailed image. Finally I stamped the image again and heated embossed with white embossing powder.

This last technique was using metal and double embossing. Love the way this came out. You take a piece of metal and place in an embossing folder, run it through the Sizzix, sand the embossed pieces, then you need to flatten it out by running it through the machine again. Once it's flattened you place it in another embossing folder and run it through the Sizzix, sand again. You can then use sharpies to color the raised areas.
