Created by: Mollie Valente
Designer Tips - Follow the instructions that come with the BIGkick™ or Big Shot to emboss the brass blank, or stamp a design with metal design stamps.
- Colorize the metal blank with alcohol inks and Snow Cap mixative, and allow the ink to dry.
- For more hints, check out our Embossed Arrow Blog Post.
- Use the reliefing block to polish the high points of the embossed design.
- For added durability, seal the finish with a water-based sealer, and allow to dry.
- Wire wrap a loop on the faceted crystal bead.
- Add a jump ring bail and bead dangle; string the ball chain through the jump ring and add a clasp.
