I am loving playing with aluminum duct/auto tape and my embossing folders, ever since the new year and making those first few tags. Here are a few more things I have made since then, using the tape, and embossing them with my Cuttlebug.
This is a simple unfinished wood box from Micheals. I removed the strap and button. I embossed the tape, and adhered it to the centre of the box top, front and back. I punctured holes through the tape and added the strap and button back on. Then I covered the rest of the box with textured Japanese paper. A simple little treat box. I love the silver and pink together.
Again, more silver and pink. Odd, I am not a big fan of pink - but silver and pink do look nice together. This is an Altoid tin I had. I taped the aluminum to the cardstock and embossed the flowers on, then sponged some acrylic paint over it to add some colour. I used more tape and taped the floral piece to both the top and the bottom and buffed it down to adhere tightly. I opened up the box and balanced it on scrap paper to level both surfaces, as much as I can. I then mixed clear resin and poured it over each surface to seal. Unfortunately, my leveling was not as level as I hoped and I overestimated how much resin I mixed so there was some overflow. It was not as neat as I wanted. But when the resin cured fully, the top and bottom were glass smooth and it gave a lovely finish. Next time, I may play with my technique some more and make tape walls or something to hold the resin in better - or just not use so much.
I was playing with the tape still, so surfaced the inside of the tin too.
