Dear Ones~
The
new challenge over at Double D is "MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND". What a fun one this
will be, I can't wait to see what you come up with, lots of possibilities. Here is the Mood
Board for our inspiration:
This is my card:
The name of this technique is Kintsugi. It's a Japanese art form which means "golden journey" - finding beauty in the broken. The Japanese take a broken piece of ceramic or pottery and mend it with gold, thus creating something beautiful out of something broken. Here I tore my background patterned paper, applied Versamark and then gold embossing powder to the torn pieces. I did 4-5 layers to really make the gold dimensional.
The Ingredients:
Recollections Rose Card Stock
TH Gold Foil Card Stock
Crafters Companion Floral Elegance Patterned Paper
SU Dragonfly Dreams Die
SU Layered Circles Die
Just Rite Handwritten Sympathy Sentiments Stamp
GKD Gold Embossing Powder
Stickles
