Another tortoiseshell card

Another card using the Faux Tortoiseshell technique. This one is a little different as I added some gold Adirondack paint dabber as well as the Tintz. I really like the effect and love this image from Suzanne's new Family Man plate.

Supplies used- Stamp by Oxford Impressions, Walnut Ink Tintz, Adirondack gold paint dabber, clear embossing powder, various dye markers, Memories black ink, Palette burnt umber ink, various papers, distress inks, brads.

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
