Ascension Embossing

Well it is that time of the week again for another fabulous OUTLAWZ Challenge.  This week it is to use  household packaging on a project and I have used this in the broad sense of the term.  I use duct tape around the house and find it has a multitude of uses such as wrapping it around my tummy so I reduce 2 dress sizes....NO only joking so do not try it for yourself LOL.

The recipe for this one is once again quite simple.  I covered card with duct tape and the embossed it with the ascension embossing folder. I then painted over it with acrylic paint and wiped it off to give aged effect. I also embossed black card with said folder.  I then cut out the shapes and stuck them using foam pads onto the balck card.  I placed the black card onto some glitter card to give it a lift..... get it hot air balloon - LIFT!  Never mind just ignore me!

I had seen this technique on the net somewhere and for the life of cannot remember where but if it comes to me I will update this post.  I did not use a sentiment for this one so that it can be used for a male for any occasion.


Anyway I hope you like this post and please feel free to leave some love if you have any to spare LOL

Why don't you pop over to Paper Ala Mode at Outlawz and join in the challenges... see you there....

  8. Brilliant idea to use the duct tape. I thought it was metal of some kind. It's great to recycle in our card making. I'm not so sure about the tummy duct tape though!

    Thanks for playing along with us at Fab'n'Funky Challenges. Hope you'll join us again soon.

  9. Some people think outside the box, and some people just go out and design a brand new box! You, my dear, fall into the second category. This is brilliant! Awesome, Awesome project. Duct Tape, Who'd da thunk it!
