Okay, so I know I had a personal goal of using the same stencil in a different way every week, but we just got in a new product called Inka Gold, and I couldn't wait to play with it! I was taught the technique on an Embossing Folder, but you KNOW my brain strayed to Dreamweaver Stencils!
This Pointsetta Stencil LG 700 is one of my ALL TIME favorite images, but I'm afraid to admit that this is the first time I've dared to pull it out of it's package! All those tiny "bridges", they were sure to cause me some sort of trouble! Well, I'm awfully glad that I chose this stencil as my first foray into Ink Gold! I dry embossed the Stencil onto Black Cardstock (Grasscloth texture) and then with my finger, rubbed Old Gold, Copper, Lava Red and Lava Green into the embossed image. I layered the colours randomly, and completely fell in love with the detail on this stencil!
I now have the courage to try more techniques with this image, as it's not as delicate as it looks! can you imagine it with glitter!? Oh my heart is all a flutter! Now the Inka Gold is a thickish paste, and I want to try the same idea using Dreamweavers Colour F/X, I think the softness of the powders will really compliment this stencil, and the shine will be just as beautiful! These pictures don't show the shine off to it's best, but stop in the store and check it out for yourself! I'm going to be doing a Demo on Saturday @ 2pm and I'll show you how easy it is to Dry emboss your stencils, and how beautifully they are complimented by the Inka Gold!!
Don't forget to post your samples to Mr Linky, the projects I've seen so far have been very inspiring, keep up the great work!!
And with that,
Stencil til you sprout wings,
Paste til you pop ,
and add colour to your craft when it's raining and gray outside!

Beautiful card Jessie and I love the technique and I always believe in getting an early start on Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Christmas is coming whether it's March or the month before, always great to have those cards done early. This is a great look with the gold!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Jessie. Love the layered colors. What are exactly are They and who makes them?
ReplyDeleteHi Louise,
DeleteThey are called Inka Gold by Viva Decor, and they are a water based paste of colour that dries fairly quickly and after about 12 hours seals itself so you can buff it up to a beautiful shine and it won't come off. It comes in 18 colours!
I am intrigued by the Ink Gold. I want to look into it. Viva Decor??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card by the way!
What a unique look with this product! That stencil is one of my faves as well, and the bridges have never been a problem for me, amazingly enough. Gorgeous card, Jessie!
ReplyDeleteAfter our little training session at the CHA, you, Lynell & Louise have given me the confidence to try this stencil and paste "with the bridge"...see, I was listening closly, tee hee
DeleteLove this look...very nice. I like the Ink!!! Love the stencil.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting technique and I have never heard of that product. I do just love this poinsettia stencil--it is so versatile!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card -- this stencil is one of my favorites too. I really like the metallic finish of the Inka Gold and will have to look into this further.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!! I love inka gold!! Fun to play with!
