This was my third workshop using metal stencils and embossing paste at Jazzy Crafts in Castro Valley, CA. This time the store hosted Lynell Harlow of Dreamweavers, and she focused on using metal leaf over the paste-embossed image. I love this technique. It gives such beautiful and impressive results. Lynell gave lots of tips as she taught the class. She also gave each of us a stencil. Thank you, Lynell.
All of the stencils and embossing pastes are from Dreamweaver. I used 140-lb. hot press water color paper on the two rose cards.
Card #3 -- 4 13/16" x 6 1/8"
Bazzill cs a dark blue, Gold Leaf and Brazen (both shimmer)
The cs on the top is a gorgeous blue that glows. Lynell provided that; I wish I knew what it was.
Black Matte Embossing Paste on the vase and Metallic Gold Embossing Paste on the flower
Superior's Variegated Green Metal Leaf (Can you see how different the metal leaf is on the matte embossing paste? It's not as shiny, and I like the antique look it gives.
Tiny Crystals. Lynell also provided these, and they shine beautifully.
Sentiment is POD and it's embossed with Michael Strong's Copper Kettle EP. I thought it looked good with the copper on the vase and the Brazen cs matting.
Note regarding glue pads: All of the cards made during the class were made with Superior's Palette Glue Pad. Lynell and a few of the class members said that Tsukineko's Glue Pad didn't work well with this technique. I had already used it at home with good results. I like it because you don't have to heat it before applying the metal leaf. I used it on the two Rose cards that I made at home. It thought it worked fine. I will try the Palette again and see if I notice a difference.
