This week Sharon has featured Becky Oehlers a/k/a Sing nÂ’ Stamp at SCS and by her blog title of Hemidemisemiquaverto inspire us Her work is always clean, crisp and classy and always uses a pretty ribbon for that final touch. What a great inspiration she is to all of us.
I saw this idea of embossing foil at Becca's Gallery I just loved it so I contacted her to see if I could CASE it. She graciously agreed.
First I embossed a piece of gold metal from Spell Binders with the Christmas Ornaments Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug. Jewels were added, corners punched with Fiscars Victorian Corner Punch and a ribbon strip glued down to hold the Sentiment. I spent a lot of time selecting the right papers, but I finally found this combination and was pleased with the way it turned out.
I stamped Merry Christmas from the Ornate Christmas stamp and then I used my Ink Blender tool to distress it so it blended better with the gold. The printed paper seemed to be just what it needed. A small sheer bow was added for the finishing touch.
