Staple Embellishment

I had a lot of fun creating this little corner tuck from a video by Luise Heinzl in her playlist Depherember .  

I changed it up a bit by using regular Mod Podge (because I didn't have an matte) and since it was going to be shiny anyway, I used some Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze in Antique Linen and Cracked Pistachio.  The whole design reminds me of a treasure you would find abandoned somewhere. Because of that, it was fitting to use Tim Holtz and Idea-Ology paper in the Abandoned series.  I used a black Distress Crayon to distress the outside of the coin and Walnut Stain Ink to distress the pocket.

Here is a link to Luise's Video

You can grab the crayons, inks, and glazes at Ranger!

 

 Several people in my groups wanted to see a demonstration regarding how I made this jig.  This is a hand made version of a book maker's corner miter tool.  I will show you how to make one in the video, but more importantly, how I "Holtzify" mine!
