After doing The Cuttlebug Spot Blog Hop back in July where we used a previous technique and I chose embossing something other than paper I so loved that diamond plate folder using metal that I decided to alter a frame in a similar manner. I've been collecting loads of Tim Holtz products and was anxious to use them again and submitted this project for the Design Team at Custom Crops. The grungeboard letters were embossed with the new Herringbone folder which to me looks like tire tread. All of the products (with the exception of the inexpensive base frame and a few screws (yup, I had DH cutting off the threads again) are available at Custom Crops. To view the article with step by step instructions click HERE. The article also reveals the identity of my "Genuine Tough Guy." Thanks for taking a peek and I'd love it if you could leave a comment on the Custom Crops site as well as here.

ReplyDeleteDonna this is a fab idea and looks amazing. I love the diamond plate folder too and have to agree that the herringbone is perfect for the tyre effect.
