Club Scrap August technique challenge: Sepia coloring

Welcome to the extended blog post from the

Club Scrap Technique challenge Blog post.

I thought it was going to be way to long, so I split it in two

I have two more sepia ideas for you and a bonus project.

Above you see the 3 cards with the techniques I want 

to share with you.

For this card download the digital Sunflower kit here.

for only $ 4,95. I love using the digital kit before the paper kit

arrives at my doorstep. With this I show you how

to use this digital kit for the sepia technique too.

The left image is one of the images from the kit and

I turned it into sepia colors with an online program:

You just upload your image and choose a sepia filter

and boom you changed all the colors and can download the changed image.

This is the easiest way for those of you who are not so great

with photoshop.

To Finish the card I used another fun technique:

making your own sepia colored paper.

Here another piece of paper from the dgital kit.

Put it in an embossing folder and add vintage ink to the

topside of the folder. Then run it trough the

big shot and you have your own sepira colored paper.

This is the result.

I did the same for this card:

Don't you just love the combination of the vintage

pictures with the home made sepia paper?

Hope you give it a try.

Now maybe you are not so into all these 

brown tones, so I have a bonus card for you

with a little more color:

For this card I also turned one of the digital images

from the Boardwalk digital kit into a sepia colored image.

But For the background I jused some color.

I ran a piece of white cardstock through my bigsot with

an embossing folder. Then I colored some of the raised parts

with vurlap brown and faded jeans distress ink.

When finished I sprayed it with a little water

and run it again through the big shot.

NOT inside the embossing folder, but on top off it.

This way the water spreads and gives a lovely look

to the paper. After drying I also sprayed the paper with 

mica silver destress spray (a pity you cannot see the

beautiful shimmer on this paper).

This is one of my favourite techniques from the

Technique Junkies. it is called antiqued wallpaper.
