What a week for winter bugs. Having spent a couple of days in bed i watched you tube tutorials to pass the time.
I found a fantastic tutorial on using aluminum kitchen foil to emboss on in the cuttle-bug. Today I tried it and WOW. See for yourself.
It is so simple. Carefully fold lengths of foil in to about 6-8 layers. Pressing it flat as you go. Pop it inside the embossing folder and go for it.
I an going to trim and mount these pieces as bits for card embellishing but the possibilities are endless. I may try antiquing them or giving them a pewter look by brushing on black acrylic paint and wiping off the excess. I will let you know how it goes.
