Now on with my project for the day...

I made several cards based on this video by Jennifer McGuire Ink. 

 

 

I used Ranger Distress Inks for all the backgrounds and Perfect Pearls or 

Pearl EX Powders to create the faux metal effect. 

I used a variety of Darice and Sizzix embossing folders.

Hope you like them.  I highly recommend giving this technique a try. 

It is lots of fun and produces an awesome card.

Please leave me a comment and don't forget to check out the daily bloggers and other guest designers in the hop (links are posted below).
