I thought I’d share the cards I showed on my Hobbymaker TV shows last night, it seems odd sharing them after the show, when usually I share everything beforehand in the hope you’ll tune in for the show – but of course, this one had to be kept a secret until Tim made his reveal, and my show was literally straight after that!
This first card used the Sizzix Foundry embossing folder, and I mixed the new Scorched Timber with a little bit of Salvaged Patina, and some Foundry wax in bronze to create the effect of rusty metal.
I really like this new colour, it’s the perfect dark colour that I would use instead of black when I wanted some real definition or shadow.
This card uses my all time favourite embossing folder, Lumber. As soon as I saw this new colour I was delighted for the possibilities of creating realistic wood backgrounds, and it really didn’t disappoint. How fabulous does this wood effect look?
I used some Sizzix Dimensional paste through a stencil then poured some of the Scorched Timber embossing glaze on top before heating with my heat tool to melt the powder, I like the shiny effect against the wood.
Having this last colour has really made me want to organise my craft room supplies, and perhaps get some extra shelving. I really want all my Distress products together in one area (in rainbow order of course). So watch this space, because as soon as I get time to do that, I’m going to start re-arranging things!
