"SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA ON TUESDAY" # 2

Hi Everyone,

That last week certainly flew by. So quickly in fact, that I am late with the "Something Extra on Tuesday".

I was making a card on Wednesday that involved embossing. I was using Perfect Medium and our gorgeous "Big Al" stamp.  I must say, I have fallen in love with owls in my cardmaking. Anyway, I had a slight mishap. I didn't press down hard enough on the stamp and the solid part of the owl only stamped out partially. I continued with the embossing. Then a brainwave hit me, not too many of those happen!

I used our "Perfect Medium Bullet Tip Pen" to go over the areas that missed the original stamping and then embossed the image again. And the image was perfect.

Our Perfect Medium Pens come in a pack of two. One has a bullet tip and the other has a brush end.

Here is the finished card.

I am thinking of designing another two cards and maybe submitting it to Kaszazz as a workshop.

Yours in papercrafting, Fiona.

"SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA" ON TUESDAY

Hi Everyone,

I know it has been a while since I have posted. My anxiety/depression has been acting up and my old medication had to be changed as my body had got used to it. Boy oh boy, now wasn't that an experience.

Anyway, I am getting back on track and that is the main thing.

I am starting a "Something a Little Extra" post each Tuesday. You should find it interesting.

*Adding Dimension to your Layouts: Try dabbing one edge of your ribbon or lace in ink, or in Tim Holtz Distress Stain.

*Creating Flower Petals from Ribbon: Cut 3 x 12cm lengths of ribbon (for smaller flowers) and 3 x 16cm lengths of ribbon (for larger flowers) and loop into a figure eight. Lay these on top of each other and secure with glossy accents.

*Gathered Flower: Do a running stitch down the middle of your ribbon. Gather this thread to create a gathered embellishment. Shape into a circle to form a flower.

*Creating Leaves: You can use our Twine - Waxed, or Twine - Paper Twist by tying it into bows and secure then to your layout using Glossy Accents.

These ideas were taken from "Australian Scrapbooking Memories" - Volume 13 No 2.

Yours in Kaszazz,
