Make Your Own Embellishments

Hiya

Today to share is a little Tutorial.

I know we all like to use embellishments on our cards and there are some beautiful ones available to buy, but I get more satisfaction when I make my own.

I feel then the card is totally 'Handmade' with Love.

  

Here Im showing you how I made the frames and corners I keep being asked about and they are ever so easy.
There are LOTS of different Air Dry Clays on the market. This one Im using at the moment is a Martha Stewart one. There are different colours available but I mainly use white but also have Blue, Red,Brown and Yellow as they are the main mixing colours.

Using a little bit of clay, roll into a sausage and spread evenly around the mould, pressing firmly so that the pattern engraves in the clay.

Once all covered make sure none is overlapping the edges.

 

I then pop straight out and make another. I must admit the first time I did this I was scared I would spoil the frame as it wasnt set, but the moulds are so flexible it just popped out.Leave on a flat surface and allow to dry.

Then once you have become more brave try mixing. Here I used a tiny ball of red to make Pink

 

I even attempted a flower and attempted two colours in one mould.

 

 I always spend hours making embellishments and flowers, then they are just at hand for your projects

 

Once finished and set, which can take a few hours I then paint. I usually end up painting white anyway, but they do look nice with a different colour showing through.

 

Hope you liked this tutorial..Back soon with another :D

 

 

DONT FORGET MY CANDY CHALLENGE HAS STILL A WEEK LEFT HERE

 

also new cards are being added to my Etsy shop HERE

 

Big Hugs
