The CAS Mixup peeps were Sweet enough to offer me a guest designing spot after a recent win.
This really was a challenge for me as I don’t use embossing powders that often.
If you go to their blog you will find three links to instructions for Oxidized Metal, all better than instructions I can give.
Here, however, is what I used for what on my card.
The base card is white card stock.
The “metal” was made with a piece of silver metallic card stock from DCWV “Metallics” mat stack.
This I ran through the Big Shot with Cuttlebug mustache embossing folder.
The rest of the “ingredients” for the metal look were Versamark ink, gold embossing powder, silver embossing powder and StazOn jet black ink.
This I trimmed down and added a piece of lack card stock then taped it to the card front.
The “hello” was die cut from black card stock using MFT Die-namics “hello” and glued to the card front.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from MFT Stamps “Raving Racoons” with the StazOn jet black ink.
I made this card a my hubby has a wonderful mustache!
