Do you have stuff in your studio/craft room that you haven't even used, yet? I've been going through my supplies, organizing and taking a loose inventory and I rediscovered a brand new, never used roll of foil tape! While foil tape by itself is not too exciting, what happens when you work it with an embossing folder and alcohol inks? Well, see for yourself!
Love this image from Sassy Studio Designs - Steampunk Josephine! She's a little more racy than what you see here, but she worked beautifully as a cameo on my card. That lovely bow looks like the rest of her dress, doesn't it? (Want to know how to tie this multi-loop bow? Click here to watch the video.)
Josie is colored with Copics and aged to perfection using Vintage Photo and Black Soot with a few spritzes of water. Distressed the bow by spritzing with water, scrunching up the ribbon and then letting it air dry. Rayon seam binding is still one of my favorite types of ribbon.
Fabulous, right?
Used a texture hammer to distress the metal brads.
Used Glossy Accents to embellish the googles.
Distress Stickles in Honey to add a little more glam to Miss Josie!
Copper embossing powder around the die cut frame and the large lace trim finish off this one of a kind piece! Hmmm...this one may have to grace my studio wall for a bit before it makes an appearance for someone's birthday...
