Well, I totally forgot I had not uploaded this one, so I hope it's alright that I add it to the "lucky" gallery. Still uses my "lucky" color green, the shamrocks & this time a bunch of gold embossing.
I just love gold embossing w/ the spring greens, so everything is in gold! Since as a general rule, embossing powder & Copics donÂ’t play together well, I stamped the frame first with Memento cantaloupe ink, figuring that the color would blend in with the gold. I added the greens in the frame with Copics, then used a stamp positioner to line up the frame again, stamp it with gold pigment ink, then heat embossed w/ the gold powder. The Irish Blessing was gold embossed inside the frame, die cut, then added to a green fancy die cut.
For the largest green & gold layer, I gold embossed the pattern all over then sponged on two green inks & die cut. The metallic gold rectangle was die cut using the same die, but I had to resize it to make it smaller. I also did the clover image the same way as the frame, cut it the added it under the frame. BTW, I have it on good authority that the pretty clover image is retiring very soon and when they're gone, they're gone!
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: Mono Print
