"Hammer" away at Christmas cards
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: bubblestx4

 I cut my ornaments in pink & silver then switched the dropouts. I wanted just the lines and starbursts from the retro 50's folder so used a hammer to emboss them where I wanted some implied sparkle & shine - As you can see there is much less definition with the hammer than with the Big shot BUT it does leave a nice impression that keeps the bg form being "just plain" and the added benefit that you can place the embossing just where you want it. Stamped the sentiment and embossed with silver powder then "hung" the ornaments with white satin ribbon.

Ooh, nice ornament die and it looks great on that background, especially with the somewhat vintage look from the hammered embossing.
