Special Feature Boozybear products

Welcome!

Today I will share with you a project that was made with some chipboards elements from our

Sponsor 'Boozybear'

at SanDees & Amelies Steampunk Challenge

I think it would be interesting to show some simply embossing techniques
which are very useful for a project in industrial steampunk style.

I used a gift box from a 1 € Store as basic to make a new masculine mixed media gift box.

Before and Now

First embossing technique - Clockfaces

1. use an embossing ink pad, but press the chippie not so strong on the pad, only a little bit
2. you will reach a randomly altered effect, like a weathered look
3. then add an embossing powder, here Burnt Copper Leaves from Emerald Creek Dare, I love this awesome marble effect

Second embossing technique - Wings

1. start with a base coat of black gesso, let it dry
2. embossed the whole chipboard with a gear folder through a Cuttlebug, Big Shot or whatever you have
3. rubbed silver metallic lustre (DecoArt) over the rough enbossed surface using your fingers

some steps how I do this

some close up's

 

 Hopefully you will now feel even more inspired 

to create your own project with this amazing chipboards.

I'm very excited :-)

Happy crafting!
