I used a tutorial from Splitcoast stampers to use paper to create a Kintsugi effect. Kintsugi is t he Japanese art of repairing btoken pottery by mending the tracks with gold, silver, or platinum. The piece is thought to be more beautiful because it had been broken.
Instead of pottery, I use DSP that I have deliberately torn in 3 directions. Versamark ink is applied to some (not all) of the torn edges and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The card is then glued back together onto a slightly larger piece of Basic White card stock. matching the torn edges which are now guilded with gold. See below on the technique done on paper.
This is added to a slightly larger piece of gold card stock which is adhered to a Night of Navy card base.
A sentiment is embossed with gold embossing powder onto Backlmy Blue card stock and die cut with a coordinating die, This is added to a Night of Navy stitched rectangular die with notched corners. These 2 layers are added to the card front using dimensionals. A narrow strip of gold card stock becomes the faux ribbon.
Supplies Used:
Stamp: unknown
Inks: Versamark
Papers: Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, gold card stock, Basic White, Country Inn DSP
Accessories: Gold embossing powder, Layering stitched rectangle dies with notched corners, Dimensionals, Brushed metallic adhesive dots
