Yesterday I drove to Daisy Lane Scrapbooking in Mattoon IL to meet my artsy friend Susan K and take a Vintaj workshop.
The Vintaj rep told us about the Vintaj metal and how Sissex has partnered to create special embossing folders for metal. We were given several metal pieces--copper, brass, and one silver coated in black--as well as the special Vintaj buffing tool.
Then we got to play, choosing embossing folders and selecting bits of pattern on them to emboss our metal pieces. I stuck with a nature theme of birds, leaves and flowers.
Back at our seats, we experimented with alcohol inks and buffing to create the look we wanted. We ran out of time to assemble our necklace or bracelet. Here is a photo of what I brought home to finish.
