Inspired By Suzanne Czosek (2)


This week's inspiration is provided by Suzanne Czosek at the Paper Artsy blog. I followed quite closely her process for my project - see her post here .

And Suzz is completely right, the embossing powder (holographic) gives an incredible shine !!!


Of course I substituted a few things to products I atually own, so I used a dress form die-cut instead of a butterfly and adapted my frame to fit the shape (no longer square).
Instead of Chocolate Pudding I used Claret Fresco paint as this is one of my latest colour (thanks to my win last week!!!) and I just had to try it. It didn't disappoint, I love the translucency of it.
I used a silver organza ribbon coloured with Fresco South Pacific in place of tulle.
I used Aged Aqua (Frantage) embossing powder on my background - sadly forgetting to use the Limelight Fresco instead of Versamark. On my textured canvas, I think the Fresco would have grabbed more powder for a better effect.

I have enjoyed both the process and the result, the colours and shine are just gorgeous, plus I love working with metal and metal card.

Thanks for coming by,
