I am always looking for new ways to use the products that I already own, so I watch a lot of videos and visit a lot of blogs to soak in as many new techniques and new ideas as possible. Every once in a while, I come across something that just wows me, and this technique did. I love it!!! As soon as I was finished watching the video, I pulled out my supplies and made these Thank You cards. My mind is full of other ways to use this technique and the supplies, that I already have, that I can use to make them. I believe in giving credit to those I learn from. I found this video: Faux Textured Metal Paper on the Jennifer McGuire Ink blog (the link will take you to this specific video). She has some great stuff, so check it out. The general steps to make these cards are:
Materials Used:
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch Perfect Pearls: Forever Blue Stamps of Life: "Thank You" die, silver twine, silver sequins My Favorite Things: Stitched Stackable Circles Cardstock: Recollections Challenges Entered: Pause Dream Enjoy Glitter 'N' Sparkle Cupcake Inspirations Come and Get It Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends Pile it On Crafting by Designs If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Simon Says
