today I'm sharing a video that was filmed last month at CHA, 
by my friends from Scrap Time...

it's a fun new technique that I call 
faux gilding...

it's another way to use embossing pastes...

I was inspired when I saw a beautiful, but...
REALLY EXPENSIVE 
vintage picture frame at an antique shop...

these are the supplies you'll need...

gold metallic embossing paste...
potting soil archival ink ... 
watering can archival...


this small filigree stamp, 
the one in the lower right corner...

you'll see in the video 
that I use it unmounted...




and grab your chosen surface...


here's a peek at the technique result...

keep in mind that this technique will work on multiple surfaces...
I like it best on my art parts, 
because they are kraft colored to start with...
it also looks cool on kraft tags and
 it's a really fun technique 
to use on bare wood...

***think inexpensive frames...***
they make a great gift!


THANKS to CHRISTINE & MARK 
for another GREAT professional video!

you can see it here on you-tube...

after you watch the video...
 I hope you'll be inspired to try the technique

and...

make art!
