Hi this is Megan with Beadaholique.com and today I'm going to show you
how to use Krylon Leafing Pens to
embellish metal stampings and here I have an assortment
of colored coated metal stampings by Ezel
and I have a few examples I've already done
this is the Golden Boughs Necklace in Ivory necklace
that I made. This one uses this white ivory colored Tree of Life stamping
and I used the 18-carat gold leafing pen on it
and these are paint pens and they're really fast and easy
to use in this way and they make a really pretty
finished product. It makes such a difference
This stamping actually is something that we have in our clearance
section right now. So you can see
it was just plain red like the back and it makes
a really really nice impactful difference when you
just to use the Gold Leafing Pens. On this one I used the copper and gold.
Here is another example. I have this red heart and this is the golden side
and I'm just going to show you really quickly
how to do this. I'm just putting it down on a
post it. You can put it on any scratch paper, any the surface that you don't mind
getting paint on
these pens do need to be shaken and when you first open them the tip will be white
and you need to press on the paper until the ink starts flowing
and now when you do this as you can see
I have some gold that's leaked through to the back
you can either choose to do both sides or if you want you can put masking tape
on the back and pull it away to keep the back
nice. All I'm going to do is
being very careful around the edges because I want the outside to stay the color of
the stamping
just trying to get a better
angle. Be careful because the paint will flow very freely
so you end up with a whole lot and its
very easy to get it messy
so you can kind of use a little bit of your scratch paper to
blot some of it and sorry I'm left handed. I'm kinda blocking the work but
the all you wanna do is just very carefully
dab around the edges and fill in
If you get any on the very edge
you have a minute to kind of wipe it off
use your fingernail
get in there and clean it up. You could also use masking tape if you want it
around the edges to mask that so you
didn't have to be quite so careful. I think that it's
relatively easy to get it on there looking nice though and
you can see that took me about
maybe 30 seconds, less than a minute and it looks really pretty
and it makes such a big impact and such a difference to add that color in
now you can use that to make a necklace or earrings or
anything you want and it's going to be a really really pretty effect
really quickly and easily.
