Good morning all.
Well we actually had a few flakes of snow yesterday afternoon...nothing lay though! Got all my chores done yesterday so the weekend is mine to do as I like although a trip to Edinburgh is needed to pick up some glasses...may be able to fit a quick waltz around either Hobbycraft or the Range (or both) while there!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fab weekend whatever you're up to :)
Today I'm sharing a card made for my brother.

Today I'm sharing a card made for my brother.
The stamp is a very old one which came in a large wooden box from QVC, which I've stamped onto parchment card. The kraft frame is a Spellbinders die. The background was made loosely following the faux leather method...I started with parchment card and as I hadn't any spray and shine to finish it off I used some gilding wax over the embossing which was a folder from Die'sire. Finished with some string and a charm. A bit too grungy for my tastes but okay for a male card.
Question...as this is the first time I've used my gilding wax I was a bit heavy handed in places...what do you use to apply yours with?

ReplyDeleteHi Carol a fab masculine card. Your application of the gilding wax looks fine to me. I have just bought some and only tried it once but it looked very uneven so I am afraid I don't have any tips for you! Susan xx
