Here is the last...

...of Saturday's projects.

This one involved embossing folders and gilding wax.

First up, a recent DoCrafts embossing folder was used on some black CS...
 ...it is a Celtic ring frame. After applying Autumn Bronze and Graceful Peach gilding wax (Creative Expressions) the ring was cut out.

The texture embossing folders from Crafter's Companion have been out for a while but the dry stone wall pattern is still one of my favourites...
 ...an aperture was cut in a piece of 8x8 CS before being embossed and then waxed. Here is a closer photo that shows the detail a little better...
...and as you can see, the Celtic ring was adhered to the CS as a frame to the aperture.

A bit of matt & layering to construct the card...
 ...some miri and a bit of die-cutting...
...and there you have it.

With this project, there was actually texture in the form of the embossing but it is the colour applied in the form of the gilding wax that makes this visible.

Andy's workshops at Pinnacle Crafts are always fun and there is normally something new to learn or a reminder about a technique that we may not have used for a while. Thank you Andy for another super day.

I'm looking forward to seeing what workshops Andy has planned next.

This coming weekend is my friend Hilary's parchment workshop so we will meet up for lunch and a natter and then the following weekend is Easter - which means a four-day club member's weekend at Pinnacle Crafts. A whole four days to take advantage of the 30% discount that club members get on the last complete weekend of each of the odd numbered months throughout the year (Jan, Mar, May etc.). I've already started my shopping list LOL

At home I am crafting with colour & texture - I am crocheting some blanket/throws in pretty Spring shades of random coloured yarn. If I get some decent light, I'll show you what I've been up to..............................................................................
