I cut out another of the Mini Books this time from the Mint Julip colour of Sizzix Surfacez. It's such a pretty and clean colour but this time I wanted it to look a little aged and grungy. So after embossing the book cover with the Floral Damask folder I used Inktense blocks in two shades all over the cover. I spritzed it with water and let dry completely. This looks a little too grungy at this point but trust the process
I grabbed my Gold Lustre Wax and after making sure that my cover was fully dry I went to town adding the gorgeous wax around the edges of the cover and highlighting some of the 3D embossing.
I love the way the cover shines where the wax has adhered it's so pretty and it's given it the vintage look I was trying to acheive.
I also added a little wax around the Book Plate being careful not to get any in the centre where I will be stamping, as that would create a resist for the ink. So now I have two Mini Book covers ready to add into, maybe I should create a third and make a set..................
Happy Crafting
