The prompt this week is dark colours & circles. This was tricky as I had a lot of circle stamps that I could have used but I wanted the dark colour to be
really dark. I also thought that the month I was doing was August and I wanted to at least pay a token nod to that fact. The Craft Barn blog this week has been featuring Katzelkraft stamps which I love so I wanted to use a Katzelkraft stamp somewhere on the page. This Katzelkraft shell stamp had a circular theme (well sort of!). A while back I was lucky enough to attend a workshop at the Craft Barn run by Béatrice the owner of Katzelkraft stamps. She taught us the technique of clear embossing on a dark background & using metallic rub-ons to highlight the image. I finished the page with a CB embossing folder and some pierced holes along the sides.
Love the effect you get, dark, but shine and colourful at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunner! I love it! Did you black emboss on black or white card before you applied the metallic rub ons? it's a super technique and a great interpretation of this weeks theme! Well done! Love your blog too, mines new and like you I finally succumbed because I wanted to enter challenges etc. I'm bit of a techno-phobe though..Isabelle's a great help!!!!! TFS!
