Faux Tortoiseshell Frames

I had been experimenting with making a pawprint frame with my KNK, following the instructions shared on Sandy's Blog http://www.sandymccauley.blogspot.com/ and by Ducky from the KNK yahoo group http://www.tricksntips.com/ and wanted a way to make my test cut usable. Using some of the Walnut Ink Tintz and clear embossing powder, I found a way to make it look like Faux Tortoiseshell. I dabbed on the rust and walnut colours randomly, some lighter, some darker. I applied versamark over the entire thing, and embossed with clear embossing powder. This made the colours really pop and gave it the faux tortoiseshell effect.

Supplies used- KNK Element, white cs, Walnut Ink Tintz, clear embossing powder, stamp by Lost Coast Designs, Copic markers, Burnt Umber Pallette ink, various distress inks, cutter file by me

Mesh Card

As a craft supplies collector, I also have 2 electronic die cut machines- a Craft Robo and a KNK Element. Since acquiring the KNK, my CR doesn't see much action. This card is from a file shared on UKScrappers by AndiDee. It is a complex file but cuts very well. I converted it to use in the KNK cutter. Various types of ink were used to highlight the individual animals.

Supplies used- KNK , file from AndiDee at UKScrappers, various inks and paint.
