Faux Metal Layered Bubbles

I needed cards for some of the guys in my family. This card features the fun “Layered Bubbles” embossing folder by Lisa Horton Crafts. I lightly applied Silver Guilders Paste Wax over the black, embossed card stock for a tarnished silver look. Applying this wax is so quick and easy, I was able to make several panels in a matter of minutes. (It’s hard to see the silver shimmer in the photo.)

The embossing folder is designed for a slimline card panel (4″ x 8.25″), and that’s where my thinking was when I started this card.

However, when I added my “lonely” greeting, it seemed like there was too much card – lol!

So I trimmed it down…

I liked the smaller version, but I also had the piece I had trimmed off and came up with the third design.

I really like how the white brightens up the card and makes what was the background of the previous samples the focus on this version. Third time’s a charm!!

The greeting is from the “Free Standing Tunnel Card Drawer Die” set (D21062) from Creek Bank Creations. The white panel was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder from SU (retired).

Thanks for checking out my card project!

Great masculine cards. Those bubbles really do look dimensional and metallic.

I like how you progressed through the card changes. The third one is a charm as you said. All three cards are wonderful!

Thanks! I used a sponge dauber. You can use your fingers. (The instructor did it that way in the class I took last summer.) Then, once it’s applied, you need to buff it with a soft cloth.
