Embossing with Eileen Hull Designs Again....

 

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..................

Life's a Beach - with Eileen Hull's Camper Die

 

Let's hit the beach for boat trips and ice creams!

A little fishing trip, maybe?

I'll be sat in the shade with a fabrulous ice cream from "Eileen's Ice Cream Van".

It's shabby coastal chic with the best ice's in town......

As you can probably tell I've had loads of fun this month playing with the Camper Die, and found that the pieces when put together in a different way make a fishing boat. 

Sadly my Laptop crashed and I lost my step by step photo's but here are a few ideas of how the pieces fit together for a few variations.

 And a bonus Rocket Ship, how cool is that from one Die?

Happy Crafting,
