CREATAImpressions Rub Ons...

I recently dug out some rub ons which I had wanted to try for quite a while. The rub ons are by CREATAImpessions and have a raised textured finish so they are much nicer than the standard rub ons. In the end, playing around with these rub ons resulted in a card...

 
I used the following to create this card:
 
Basic Grey
 
Craftwork Cards
 
Magnolia
 
CREATAImpressions
 
Dusty Attic
 
Inka Gold
 
Thank you for looking

More recent layouts...

I have been busy lately creating new layouts and trying different products to what I normally use and wanted to share my most recent....


I am so pleased how this layout came out considering that it is quite a simple effect and not too fussy. Until last week I had not considered using embossing folders on scrapbook layouts yet we received the new Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folders and after seeing a layout that spellbinders used these on I thought I would give it a go!

For the cardstock squares I cut the Payper Box Pearlescent card into 5" x 5" Squares and then embossed these using the M-Bossabilities Embossing Folders. Once this was done I used the Viva Decor Inka Gold paint to add a subtle metallic sheen to the embossed areas. This paint comes in a thick creamy form and I applied this lightly with my fingers.

Products Used:

Teresa Collins

Payper Box

Bazzill Basics
White & Black Cardstock
