Give a Cheer
This was for a challenge over at Swirlydoos. It called for using metal embossing.
I was inspired by some old Vintage Tin Tiles and their intricate embossed designs, and I wanted to do a layout that looked like it was "mounted" on one.
Since this challenge was about embossing- when I found this photo of my dd, it made me laugh since she was "embossing" our remote with her teeth- and I had to choose it!
I tried to combine hard and soft elements to accent the photo, so I used lots of metal, plastic and fabric.
Used Lots of Techniques:
I made the "Tin Tile" using Foil Tape (from Home Depot).
Put it on some card stock and ran it through my Big Shot using embossing folders to deboss. I painted the whole thing black to get paint in the debossed design- then wiped the paint off the top.
Then I went to work on the clock:
For the multi-tone frame, I used alcohol inks and acrylic paint.
Since I wanted "air bubbles" in the lavender ring- I used the "Acrylic Smash" technique- which was tricky since I didn't want any purple in the center of the clock. So I cut the second acetate to the size of he middle ring. I went slowly and wiped the excess paint from the middle.
I made many of the embellies such as the rolled zipper flower, metal die-cut flower, and the lace up detail with eyelets and ball chain.
also made the black plastic flower and also used lots of mediums on the chippie clock.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
