Enameled Charms

Hello, Allie here to share a little technique. It's kind of fun, and pretty easy, and there are NO mistakes - you just end up with a fun, distressed, enameled charm.

I started with Piccolo Chipboard Pieces and Piccolo Powders, and I also used Glasstique and Embossing Adhesive. These products are all extremely easy to use!

I decoupaged a pretty napkin to the charm. I used only the top layer.

I adhered napkin to chipboard charm using glue stick.
I sanded away the excess with Basic Grey sanding tools.
Afterwards, I dabbed on Embossing Adhesive around edges, heat to set.
Then, I applied some Glasstique.

Once I had a layer of Glasstique on, I pressed the chipboard piece, glaze side down, on my craft sheet (Ranger).
While it was upside down, I gently cleaned any overflow, or clogged openings.

 

I turned the charm back over and heat set the Glasstique with my embossing tool, until glaze begins to brown or bubble. (NOTE - do this step in a well ventilated area - there can be some odor from melting the adhesive).
I added a little more Piccolo powder and heat set afterwards, for a little more dimension and sparkle.

For a finishing touch, I went over any exposed chipboard with a Copic Marker. Please note that Copics and powders are not meant to be used together so I was just using it on the unembossed areas.
