Next up from Christine Grabb is a Halloween skulls card.
Christine explains, “I clear embossed the Boo on crumpled patterned paper and dp'd some red ink over it. I love the effect!
The skulls are grungeboard that I covered with white acrylic paint. After they dried (okay, okay - after they were dryish), I covered them in Versamark and did two layers of clear embossing powder - UTEE would be perfect here, I just can't remember where I put mine - and while the ep was still hot and sticky, dipped them in Ultra Fine Clear Beads. I added an additional three layers of ep and beads, heating between each layer and ending with a final layer of ep. Ta-dah!”
She continues, “After they cooled, I cracked them a bit - I tried to rub them with a dye ink pad but it wouldn't stick - duh! Black Stazon would have been a better choice, but it's apparently run off with my UTEE and they're living in sin. :) I think I'm going to try this little trick with some colored micro beads and maybe some other shapes - I want to see this technique on a heart or flower shape. I would be tickled pink if anyone decided to try it and left a link for me!”
