Now, we hadn't actually previously played with the Holtz version of embossing powders, but who cares? EMBOSSING!
And, as expected, I fall into Linda's category of "really love." Really. Love.
We had some troubles, of course, like being too impatient (surprise, surprise), but in the end I have the project you see here and a couple of other little things that I couldn't resist throwing together.
After all ... EMBOSSING!
This piece used white card stock cut into a tag with multi-color Lion yard tied through the tag hole. There's a metal heart with some added goo to make it less shiny, that I found on a re-gift olive oil bottle, held by an S-clip and a brad that came from where we couldn't remember.
The distress inking is combination of edging in Vintage Photo, blots provided by Fired Brick and main color provided by tea dye.
The stamp is a combination of a scroll frame piece that came in a discount pack I picked up somewhere and the sentiment from Close To My Heart.
The embossing powder used here is Aged Mahogany.
Now we gotta run because there's less than an hour before bedtime, but several hours of embossing ideas ... don't forget to join Linda's Compendium Challenge!
CB, I LOVE that you enjoyed this challenge so much, and your tag is fab, of course! Already, you've mastered the Distress Powder, right outta the gate! Love all those sweet embellishments, too!
ReplyDeleteSo... when do we get to see the rest of the things you couldn't resist making?
♥ you!
Great tag. Love the sheen from the distress inks and the texture from the embossing and embellishments.
