By Nancy May

– I love it when I can incorporate everyday items from around the house in my craft room. Today we are paying with tin foil…aluminum foil…kitchen foil…whatever you might call it…We are going to repurpose basic tin foil into faux metal panels, emboss them with embossing folders and see which Imagine products will adhere to the foil to create that beautiful faux metal look. Then we will make a couple of beautiful cards

Posted on by

By Nancy May –

Pyrography is the art of wood burning and it has a very distinctive look. This stamping technique has a very similar look. Be sure to use watercolor card or this technique will likely not work. You will also need a stamping platform, water mister and a water reactive dye ink like VersaMagic, and a non-water reactive pigment ink, like VersaFine Clair.  Let’s get into it.
