Thank you, Spellbinders Paper Arts, for sponsoring this contest!
I’m thrilled to share Floral Doily Accents and Floral Doily Motifs with you. I altered a tin by adorning it with various embossed, stenciled and sanded die cuts using both cardstock and F-012 Precious Metal Premium Craft Foil, (Gun Metal).
To create the various distressed metallic die cuts that were cut/embossed using F-012 Precious Metal Premium Craft Foil, (Gun Metal), I used a fine sanding block to gently sand any unwanted Gun Metal area to expose the underlying silver metal.
Taking advantage of the unique ability to stencil a Spellbinders die template, I used a sponge dauber to apply some Clearsnap Silks & Satins lavender ink to several die cuts.
In the photo below, you will see the die cuts I have used to create this altered tin and how easy it is to use the Grand Calibur™ to cut/emboss so many die templates all at once.
Supplies: Spellbinders Nestabilities® S5-040 Floral Doily Accents, S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs, S4-116 Standard Circles SM, S4-114 Standard Circles LG, F-012 Precious Metal Premium Craft Foils, GC-001 Grand Calibur.
