I adore this look, and wanted to share it with you, although it is much nicer to see in person <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/rsc\/smilies\/icon_biggrin.gif\" title=\"&amp;amp;#58;&amp;amp;#68;\" alt=\"&amp;amp;#58;&amp;amp;#68;\" class=\"middle\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/>. I apologize in advance for my poor picture taking skills!<\/p>\n<p>I call this technique <strong>Gilded Glassine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You need a couple of items-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tim Holtz Kraft Glassine<\/li>\n<li>Inka Gold (this is a very shimmery paste that you can buff onto paper, etc)<\/li>\n<li>An applicator tool (I used the Tim Holtz applicator, but you could use a piece of foam, a sponge, or even your fingers)<\/li>\n<li>Optionally- A spritz bottle filled with water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take the Kraft Glassine and using your applicator, apply the Inka Gold to the Glassine, covering as much as you like. That&#8217;s it, you are finished! HaHa, well of course you know I would never stop there, but you really could stop here because the look is just so rich!!<\/p>\n<p>Here is what it would look like. Note that I did this on top of a piece of Glassine and then embossed the Easy Scraps Grunge Mirror, using Distress embossing powder in Vintage Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Grunge-Mirror-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Grunge-Mirror-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-1.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>If you like a more streaky look where more of the Glassine shows through, and there are lighter streaks of gold, then you can spritz with water and blend out some of the Inka-Gold. Note that doing this immediately has better results than waiting overnight and doing it the next day. In this example, I embossed the Easy Scraps Grunge Mirror on the Kraft Glassine using clear embossing powder (Luv this!). Here are the results:<\/p>\n<p>I love the way the clear embossing looks with the Gilded Glassine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Grunge-Mirror-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Grunge-Mirror-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-2.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Finally, if you are creating a background, You can crumple the Glassine and then optionally ink the wrinkles with an ink pad.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Grunge-Background1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Grunge-Background1.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-Background-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-Background-1.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I call this <strong>Gilded Grunge<\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p> Here is where I pulled the two pieces together&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-Project-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-Project-1.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another example:<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-Project-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Gilded-Tim-Holtz-Kraft-Glassine-Project-2.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>If you mess up, perhaps you took off too much of the Gold- no worries! Just re-apply the Inka Gold and try again. This is such an easy technique, but it leaves you with a very rich looking background!
