\n Hello!<\/div>\n
\nI am show casing a fabulousnew product from Craftangles today!<\/div>\n
\nIt’s Art Wax! <\/a><\/div>\n
\nYou will see in the video below, how just a tiny bit of this gorgeous metallic coloured wax can transform any project into a thing of beauty!<\/div>\n
\nIt works best on a black background so here is what I came up with.<\/div>\n
\nI started out by applying the Craftangles black charcoal texture paste on black cardstock using Craftangles stencils.<\/div>\n
\nOnce dry, I rubbed a little bit of the Craftangles ‘Iridiscent pink’,<\/a> ‘Iridiscent violet’ <\/a> and ‘Bronze’ <\/a>art wax to create a metallic background.<\/div>\n
\nI even tried it on Craftangles ‘Black diamond’ glimmer paste<\/a> and the results were fantastic.<\/div>\n
\nEnjoy the video.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nOnce the backgrounds were done, I cut out the panels using Simon Says Stamp stitched dies.<\/div>\n
\nI then heat embossed the sentiment (Penny Black) on Craftangles vellum<\/a> , die cut the tag (mftdienamics) and the Christmas trees (Impression Obsession), added a satin bow and adhered the panel to a white A2 card base. <\/div>\n
\nIts hard to capture the gorgeous beauty of this waxed background in a photo, but, you get the idea.<\/div>\n
\nCraftangles stencil used with Craftangles Black diamond glimmer paste is ‘Flourish<\/a>‘.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the second card, I have used a sentiment from Hero Arts and <\/div>\n
\nthe bench and lamp from Lawn Fawn. I gold embossed the sentiment and images and added them to the die cut panel to create an unusual Christmas card.<\/div>\n
\nThe Craftangles stencil used here is  ‘Doodle around<\/a>‘.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the third card, I have used the Craftangles stencil ‘Geometric bliss’ <\/a><\/div>\n
\nand a fabulous Santa die cut from Impression obsession, <\/div>\n
\nwhich I die cut from copper coloured cardstock. <\/div>\n
\nThe sentiment is from Impression Obsession too.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the last card, I used Craftangles ‘black diamond’ glimmer paste which is absolutely fantastic, along with the Craftangles ‘Indian motif’ stencil.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe gold embossed sentiment is from Penny black and the die cut trees from Impression Obsession.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHope you liked these cards and will give these products a try!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThanks for stopping by!<\/div>\n
\nHave a great day!<\/div>\n
