Raising a Glass

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

Today's Spellbinders clubs project uses the lovely new November Wax Seal of the Month. I gelved into my ribbon and lace stash to find something to help show this one off!

Here's some of the seals I've made this time

The seal itself is created with a marbling of blue and teal wax beads, and to make the glass sparkle when it catches the light I filled the upper section with fine glitter then poured the wax into it while holding the seal face up (because the glitter would fall out if I didn't, obviously 😁 ). 

As the glitter odesn't show up on the still photos I had a go at videoing them.  The video is as bad as usual, but it does help show the glitter (and one with tiny silver beads in instead) better

 

 

 

You have to watch what you're doing and be careful not to pour too much wax when you do this as it will run off and end up on your fingers - which hurts! 

 

Essentially this is a 'pour and scrape' seal but with the added trick of pouring the wax into the mould while it's face up, pour a little wax over then turning it over quickly to 'swoosh' across your silicone mat to remove the main excess. Next use warmed scraper tools to remove the remaining unwanted wax

 

You need to have the different coloured wax beads for the main part of the seal already melted in the spoon  - but don't mix them, just let the different colours mingle during the pour, then press the seal with the glittered wax glass shape into it as normal 

 

I found this lovely white lacy ribbon and some satin ribbon in my stash to display the seal on. I added a loop of gold twine, under the seal and made a tassel with more of the twine to add some extra interest.

I hot-foiled one of the sentiments from November's Glimmer of the Month club on matching cardstock to complete the card
