Heavy Metal

"Heavy Metal"

This class focuses on the technique of creating faux metal frames for your photos. We will make two photo frames and incorporate these into a layout. This technique is great for masculine pages, but can just as easily be adapted to create fun and funky girl pages! So as not to waste anything, we will be making some metal "tiles" for a card or another project from the left-over pieces.



Supplies needed:
Two photos, one 3" x 4" (landscape) and one 4" x 3" (portrait) or any combination that suits your photos.
One piece of cardstock.
One large alphabet for a title.
Ink to suit your layout.
Versamark if you have it.
Embossing powder if you have it.
A favourite small stamp if desired (I will have a small selection).
Needle and embroidery thread to match your chosen colour scheme (or gel pen and hole piercer).
Mat pack if you have one.
Basic tool kit.

Techniques used:
Faux metal, embossing, inking, hand stitching or fake stitching.

Hope to see you there! Supper for this class WILL be caramel slice!!
