2758j …good will to men

Paper

60-002 script foil

Versafine black ink pad

Clear embossing powder

Bazzill – blue

Art Glitter – ultra fine navy

Tsukineko – Cornflower walnut ink antiquing solution

Tattered Angels – sapphire, silver

I Kan’ dee pearlescent chalks

 

I cut out a 6 x 6 piece of the script foil paper. Spray it with the cornflower ink randomly. Be sure not to completely cover your piece with ink. When that is dry spray on the sapphire and silver tattered angels still leaving some paper unsprayed. When this is dry cut the paper into thin strips between ¼ and ½ inch pieces. Cut a piece of blue bazzill paper to 4 ¼ x 2 ¾ inches. Run it through the xyron sticker machine. Start laying your strips on to the sticky blue paper in a bargello pattern leaving about 1/16 inch between each piece. After you have laid out all of your pieces trim the edges then pour navy glitter over piece, use your fingers to rub it in to the sticky spaces between the strips.

 

Cut out a strip of blue paper about ½ x 4 ¼ inches. Run it through xyron and pour navy glitter on it.

 

Cut out a piece of the script foil paper to 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches.

 

Stamp words on white paper with black inkand emboss with clear. Rub gold chalk around the edges of stamped piece. Mount onto a piece of blue paper with about 1/8 inch border.

 

Make a blank card with the blue paper measuring 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches. Adhere you foil paper then the bargello piece, the glitter strip and then the stamped image. Your done!
