For this fortnight's technique, I wanted to use the Ken Oliver Liquid Metals as some of the girls had just recently used them in a previous class and purchased some. I wanted to show that you could do more than one thing with them, which is always an important factor when you buy new goodies.... make sure it has more than one use! This time I brayered them onto gloss card and when dry, ran them through my Big Shot with various embossing folders. To make the embossing stand out, I swiped over carefully with a coordinating colour of Distress Oxide Inks.
The rest is simply adding your focal image/piece and then add the extra embellishments to finish telling the story. I always try to include elements of the image or focal piece in the rest of the atc so it all relates. In a couple of these examples (Sparkle and Take Your Shoes Off), I have repeated the elements from the image on the background of the atc. I also dripped some of the Liquid Metals down the image in A Fine Line and you should be able to see some of the shimmer in those drips. The liquid metals are a shimmery liquid and so once again, they have to be seen in the flesh to appreciate the shimmer that comes up. Try them out, you'll love them!

Finally, this one is from last fortnight's class, Leafing Flakes & Die Cuts. This is a multi-coloured leafing flake and is really gorgeous in the flesh.
