Hey There,

Today’s tutorial is a fun little project using FIRE!!!   Lol, Really it is using a candle flame, not a roaring fire, grin.

Brayered More Mustard ink on a 3.25″ x 4.5″ piece of Glossy card stock.

Brayered Cajun Craze ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the More Mustard ink entirely.

Brayered Cherry Cobbler ink at the very top of the card stock.

Brayered Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Here is where the project gets fun!  

Hold the card stock in the candle flame, ink side down.  Moving the card stock at all times until the soot covers the card stock.  Be careful to not catch the edges of the card stock on fire.   You will not want to touch the soot on the card stock either or you will have finger prints on it.

Stamp the tree on the card stock.   Note:   the stamp does not have any ink on it.   

The stamp will take the soot off of the cardstock.

Stamped the leaves.

Use a fixative to cover the card stock so your soot does not rub off.   I used Krylon Fixative and it turned out perfect.

Punched a 1″ square from Cajun Craze card stock and then cut the square in half.

Assembled my card adding 2 Old Olive panels, 1 Basic Black panel, 2 Glimmer Brads and Old Olive Ribbon.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.

May your imagination take you to amazing places.

Until my next post. . . . .
