Tip:
To grace your projects with unexpected elegance and use the "left-overs" in your stash:
To grace your projects with unexpected elegance and use the "left-overs" in your stash:
- Use opulent scraps of paper.
- Wet emboss sentiments, background panels, or layer edges.
- Find that odd, left-over brad, eyelet (remember those?) or other metal embellishment. Heat it up, dip it into your embossing powder, and make it new for your current project:
Love the detailed stitching on the Poppy Stamps Main Street Stitched Tags:
The Pearly Vellum in gold and white lends an unexpected elegance!
The multi-gold tones work well together, without clashing:
- The heavier pearlescent circular frame is beautifully crisp - it was made by using the round die that came with the Sue Wilson Mini Christmas Scene Background set, and a Spellbinders Classic Circle that was just a tad larger.
- The intricate brad has been heated and dipped into Detail Gold embossing powder.
- Non-metallic, true-gold-hue print patterns in the pretty pattern papers sets the stage for the other golds, not taking away from their textures.
- The gold ink accentuates the dry embossed green panel, and red tag under the white.
