Alfoil and Opals


Here is a fun easy technique to add texture and interest.

STEP1

  • Find a Shape/ alpha you would like to alter









STEP 2

  • Find your versamark ink
  • Ink the entire shape
  • Till it looks wet








STEP 3


  • When shape is wet
  • completely cover with Opal embossing powder







STEP4


  • Shack off excess
  • Place back into container
  • Till it looks like this








STEP 5


  • Heat your powder
  • When the powder is melted/hot
  • Sprinkle more powder on top
  • Re heat
  • You may want to do this a few times



STEP 6


  • Find some crystal glitter and have it ready
  • If your powder has cooled and dried reheat
  • When the powder is hot and melted sprinkle your glitter over the top


STEP 7

  • Till it looks like this







STEP 8

Find some alfoil
Scrunch it up
Try and make it about the same size as your shape







STEP 9


  • Heat your shape again if it is cooled/hard
  • When the powder is melted
  • Quickly place the alfoil on top of the shape
  • Leave the foil until the shape has cooled
  • Once it is cooled take alfoil off
  • Some floil will stay on their which is what you want!



STEP 10- FINISHED


  • I have reheated the middle and added another colour
  • If your not happy with the foil on their or the texture not being enough or too much you can reheat and start again!
