I wanted to try a card using the faux metal technique. I love the way this card turned out.
The stamp set is Looks Like Spring. I used Cameo Coral cardstock for the card base. I took a square whisper white cardstock and stamped the flower from looks like spring using Cameo Coral classic ink. I mounted the flower on Chocolate Chip card stock. I used a Tempting turquoise button from Fresh Favorites 1 for the final touch on the flower.
For the faux metal piece:
I set out my versamark pad and stamped the for you stamp from Happy Everything in the Versamark pad so it would be ready when I needed it. I took a square of whisper white card stock and placed the whole square on a versamark pad. I then covered the versamark with Gold Glory embossing powder. Holding the square with my tweezers from my Crafters tool kit I melted the embossing powder with my heat gun. I covered the first layer with versamark again and added another layer of gold e.p. and melted it with the heat gun. While the melted powder was still hot I quick poured another layer of gold e.p. on the piece. This time I held the heat gun under the card
stock and heated from bottom up. This leaves a smoother finish. While the embossing powder was still hot I took my "for you" stamp and stamped it into the gold. It made a beautiful imprint of the words. I then took my Designer label punch, centered the words and punched out the label. I punched an 1/8 inch punch in each side of the label. I also punched two 1/8 inch holes about 1/2 inch above the bottom of the card and another hole about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom. I laced gold cord through the holes on the label and the holes in the card. I secured the label with snail so it would stay in place.
I mounted the flower on top of the label and stamped "Happy" at the top with Chocolate chip classic ink.
