Tutorial: Week of June 29th
Here's one of my new favourite techniques:
Custom metal embossing and colouring:
I'm using thin aluminum (I got it at an Art Supply store, but I've heard you can also use heavy duty aluminum foil) . Mine was this one:

I cut it with a die cutter, embossed it and coloured it with alcohol ink. In this case I used quickutz nesting scalloped circles and a cuttle bug embossing folder.
To get a nice deep colour, I dribbled the ink on the letter and lightly sponged it around with a makeup sponge. I takes a few coats to get a nice colour.
Here's a few examples:
Here's a card using the technique with quickutz letters:
Here's a layout with the metal "flowers":
Thanks for looking and I hope you give it a try!

WOW - that looks great! Are alcohol inks for non-porous materials? eg, tin, metal, plastic etc. i'm guessing they aren't for paper and card?

Yes, alcohol inks are for non porous surfaces. I've seen them used with glossy cardstock though.
Tara- You can use punches too and a stylus to "draw" a texture. Here's a very quick example:
Glad you like the tutorial!
