"Layers and Colours"
Layering up the chipboards makes for a more luxurious feel, and it's so easy to colour the clay to match using the colour charts from Martha Stewart.
"Heat-embossing Clay"
The frame is stamped and heat-embossed with verdigris powder, before die-cutting with the matching Sizzix framelits die, and the butterflies are inked with versamark and also heat-embossed with verdigris. This was just an experiment, but I'm pleased to say the clay took the heat-embossing well.
There were lots more cards from this set, but unfortunately I forgot to photograph them before I gave them away. I make a lot of small cards like these to try out new techniques and just get the creative juices flowing, then package them up into boxes and give them away as presents. It's great to always have a thankyou pressie on hand when you need one.
Lovely cards. The childen on the first card are really so fine, but I also like the second card with the embossing very much
