Brilliant! Especially for guy cards!!!

[@donnacarraway9182]

I know you couldn’t hear me but I was yelling for you to add some type of greenish patina color onto the cogs! Good technique to know about!Thank you!

[@AndiHesk]

Oh I love those cogs, popping onto Craftstash.they will come in handy. Xx

[@kdgontube]

Really cool technique. I will definitely try it out. Thank you for sharing

[@dstrick12]

This is fabulous!

[@gabbingwithgrammee]

Sounds good to me!

[@cindyrobinson2199]

I do like how they both came out. Nice and subtle.

[@pinkmosquito22]

If you didn't want to use your mirrored cardstock, you could also use embossing powder on one side of plain cardstock to achieve the same result! 😉😁

[@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx]

Love the subtleness of the colours. Great technique. Thank you lou x

[@olderendirt]

Very pretty. I especially like the shadow in the last technique.

[@kimarmstrong9161]

Unique!...and i do hope you used the plain paper that you used to absorb the extra water from the butterflies die!! It looked like a watercolor. Another happy accident. 😃

[@annmorris1451]

Looks fantastic Lou

[@karenblack7341]

Another fun and informative card making video. Can't wait to try one !!! Thanks so much.

[@carloshaun7297]

Audio sounds great to me! Both cards are great! So, I can order these two dies? Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@hazelyoung2046]

Lovely Lou, great technique xx

[@carolyng.6405]

So cool. Great discovery!

[@yelsyels]

Great technique! ❤❤❤

[@cisvolk]

This is so creative 🎉 Thank you beautiful cards,

[@michelegourd5742]

So creative!!

[@AlysonGold]

What a fun technique! I always learn something new from you. Congrats on hitting 30k subs!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Cool!!!

[@suzannetunnicliffe2422]

Very interesting.

[@janepowell4739]

Sorry Lou not for me but I do appreciate them xx

[@bethrogers5656]

Happy accident indeed! assuming you need the single sided mirror card to make it work (or some kind of coated cardstock?)

[@LouCollins]

Yes, otherwise it will just absorb the excess water and ink x

[@sandrasimpey1712]

I love learning new techniques but I am going to pass on this one (I love my mirror card as mirror card too much lol x

[@carloshaun7297]

I am looking for these 2 dies you used, at the Textures link you sent, but am not seeing them. Can you send a direct link to those two specific dies, if they are still available? Thanks!

[@LouCollins]

Hi! 👋 These are the Steampunk panels tidd.ly/4cvykN7 and these are the butterfly dies tidd.ly/49fJgLY xx

[@carloshaun7297]

Thanks Lou! I notice that is a UK company. Is there a way I can order them, to be sent to the US?

[@LouCollins]

@@carloshaun7297 sorry yes, on CraftStash US here tidd.ly/2WEscja Type in ‘Mariposa’ to search the butterflies, and ‘Steampunk’ to search for the panels x

[@elainewolstenholme8702]

Happy accident.😄 what a great new idea.

[@tnmtredhead]

The audio sounds like you are in another room. I turned my sound up to 100%, and have a new high rated laptop. But, when the ads come on it blares me away. So, it is your audio.

[@evelynbee22]

Why waste an expensive piece of mirror paper???

[@cindyrobinson2199]

I do like how they both came out. Nice and subtle.
