EMBOSSING FOLDER PAPER CASTING

The last time I did Paper Casting in class was back in 2012 and it had been around for years before that, albeit in a different way by doing the paper cast process over a red rubber stamp. Since embossing folders have been around, this is a much easier and quicker technique to do using the folders and a die-cut machine. I used toilet paper last time but found some great little serviettes at IKEA and tried them out, and they worked perfectly.  Previously I had used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to colour my backgrounds but this time around, nothing quite beats Ranger Distress Stain Sprays, the Mica Stain Sprays can also add a gorgeous bit of shimmer to the coloured background.

GELLI PLATE & ACRYLIC INK

Acrylic Inks are one of my new favourite products.  There are so many things you can do with them and in this class, we'll be using them on a Gelli Plate.  You can get two different looks depending on whether you use just the acrylic inks on the Gelli Plate or if you add something to help the inks spread easily, and not bead up so much.  Both give great effects!  Plus, you don't have to wait for the inks to dry as you're not using paint to do your pulls.
