Last month Jennie posted a technique on Gingersnaps Creations - and she used VivaGold straight onto the the paper. Until then I had only used it on metal/utee etc - never thought of using it direct to paper. Its glorious!! The photo doesn't do it justice, but it gives a lovely sheen. I then over stamped with the stars background and embossed it.
You may recognise the bauble - sorry to tell you that no Jennie hasn't designed a new one with stars on it, its the steampunk one, but I didn't want the cogs on this tag, so I stamped it, cut it out and then triple embossed it using the same stamp I used on the background. I then stamped the holly stamp onto shrink plastic and shrunk it - bit of wire wrapped around a paintbrush handle and hey presto
Now what is our treat today?? - You decide and tell me! (my treat today is not thinking too hard)
