Can't wait to show you what I ran through the embossing machine this week! Last week I ran burlap through and was quite excited at the resulting texture. This time I ran the plastic mister templates through ...
Folks, that works too! This is the Studio Calico Chevron Mister Huey Mask, meant for masking with the mist sprays. But, it works WONDERFULLY as an embossing tool. I put a few shims through to make the impression a little deeper. You just have to play with it.
For this card, I used the Studio Calico Circle Graph Mister Huey Mask.
I ran the Studio Calico Circle Graph template through the Big Shot and came up with these wonderful impressions. Oh the possibilities! I cut out random sections of the circle graph and put them together on the main card.
I wanted it to go with the saying. All the days (the bars) adding up to the knowledge you acquire over a year (the circle).

Woah, getting a little deep here! : )
Anyway, I was excited with how this one turned out, and can see playing with this technique more in the future. Please stop by the rest of the fabulous Fusion designers, and hope to see you in the gallery!
Thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteAn amazing card and a truly innovated technique. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly! Kim was telling us about your burlap tip. Love it such a great idea. So I told the girls about the stencils very thin and only cost about 4$ I have been running them through as an embossing folder as well. I love the card you created with the mister mask . Love the color and the pretty sequins. One week away and I am still catching up .
ReplyDeleteTake care
Hey, I have that mask and it's NBUS! Maybe not for long ;) So cool to know that the masks work too. Did it curl up?
ReplyDeleteI've die cut "frames" (2x from cereal boxes) and used them to emboss or deboss a frame into a card front too.
BTW, your "verse" on the card is fabulous.
Such an awesome card - lot of work, but totally worth it! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you figure these things out. That circle card is like something I've never seen before - so fabulous. Now I can't wait to see what you do with the leftovers. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly, you are so clever and creative! Another beauty!
ReplyDeleteMY oh MY! How AWESOME and AMAZING is your card?!!....LOVE.IT. :)
ReplyDeleteYou sure give these stencils a great work out and more bang for the bucks!! Amazing results!
ReplyDeleteEeeek! LOVE this! So clever!
ReplyDeleteGoodness--you are so creative and clever when it comes to stretching your supplies.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Kelly, you have so much patience.
ReplyDelete*thud* I can't believe this card. So much time and effort and thought must have gone into it - which is just trademark you, but still! The finished result is both beautiful and clever - which again, is just like the person who created it too. :-)
