I must admit I’m kind of smitten with this card. I started with an entirely different idea using an all-over, random pattern. I got that far, and this happened! BTW, if your stomach starts to churn at the thought of random stamping, check out this post that de-mystifies the technique! I recommend working with a piece of card stock at least 8½” x 4¼” and covering the whole thing. This tag is pretty little, so you’ll have lots left over for more projects!
Applying VersaMark to a panel through a Decorative Mask so you can heat emboss the pattern is so cool. At February’s Marvelous Masks class, we used a Sponge Dauber to apply the ink, but this time I thought I’d experiment with using a Blending Brush. Be sure to mark the brush that it is for VersaMark!
As always, when using VersaMark, the results can be surprising or even disappointing because it’s so hard to gauge the coverage. However, I was thrilled with the way this gold patterned panel turned out!
A bow tied with Simply Elegant Trim and some Festive Pearls carry forward the gold accents. These pearls are new in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, and they are amazingly bright and beautiful — I highly recommend!
