Gold Dipped Memories I am playing along with this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! The theme this month is a "touch of gold." I love die cut words and decided after seeing the gold tipped fingernails in the first photo that a touch of gold to a die cut word would be just perfect. Gold Dipping die cut words was born! Looks like my "memories" is just ever so slightly dipped into a vat of pure gold. LOVE!
I used a Papertrey heart limitless layer die to cut out of a large circle die to create a frame. I wanted another more subtle sentiment to go along with my gold dipped memories. I inked the "thinking with you" in versa mark and clear embossed. The embossing powder was in a few unwanted places, but I decided I liked it a bit distressed so left it. Once I did that I wanted the clear stamped embossed sentiment to show up a bit better so I dabbed my finger into some snow white ink and rubbed all over the clear embossed sentiment. LOVE LOVE how it turned out. Clear emboss highlighting. Will definitely do this look again with the clear embossing.
Tip: I die cut the word memories and used a large post it note that I put to cover up just below the letter e's to keep it straight. I embossed with the post it note still attached and carefully pulled off the word. I then die cut another word and glued behind using a quickie glue pen. This allows it to not be so flimsy so it can sit across the cut out heart frame without sagging.
