I had several questions about using the faux graniteware technique on a "plain old tag"...
YES...it sure does work & I really love it on a black tag, because it shades itself...
tree branch archival ink was added to the black tag with a blending tool...
I intentionally didn't ink the edges...
I sprinkled over the wet ink
with tree branch embossing powder &
heated the tag to emboss...
when cool, I went over the powder with
potting soil archival ink to tone it down...
then comes the spatter stamp with
a quick dry...
then you'll see I used watering can archival to stamp some tiny text...
it's not finished yet...
but I wanted to make sure you know tags are AWESOME if you want to start with one before you jump into the home decor/dimensional game...
manila tags work great too...
here's another make-over...
this is a small metal decor piece I found at Hobby Lobby...
metal + nice shape = awesome to heat emboss...
I used the same technique to change it to this...
my embossing powders are super fine detail...
which creates an orange peel effect & even more detail...
you'll see on the photo of the frame how cool this is when another color is added over the cooled powder...
I guess you'll have to come back...
this isn't finished either...
keep your eyes open for good shapes...
the graphics don't matter...
the photo below shows tree branch embossing powder used on a black wooden frame...
it's the small square shadowbox frame from Ikea...
to alter the wood frame,
swipe the archival pad onto one side of the frame...
very easy, since it'a a flat surface...
work on one side at a time...
again...I left some black showing & I LOVE the effect!
sprinkle on the tree branch embossing powder, heat to melt, then I added potting soil archival ink over the cooled powder...
the potting soil defines the orange peel texture of the embossing powder...
no white spatters this time...
I saved them for inside pieces...
this one is finished!
you'll see I used the embossing powders on multiple surfaces...
the wood frame...
the tiny metal spoon...
and on the tattered floral...it's die cut
from clearly for art blackout...
and it's covered with
this was so much fun that I didn't want it to end!
so, the moral of the story is...
are awesome on LOTS of surfaces...
I hope you're excited to...
make art!
