I used two JustRite sets on my card today...Christmas Ornament and Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verse. I decided to go for a vintage feel, so I started by heat embossing
my ornament images in gold embossing powder, colored the branches and tops with Copics and cut them out by hand. Then I used Ranger Distress Inks and a sponge blender to color the images using a form of the emboss resist technique. Next, they were covered in transparent glitter embossing powder and heat embossed again. I didn't stop there...they were coated with extra thick clear embossing powder and heat embossed again...not once, but twice! These paper ornaments were transformed into thick, glossy, colorful glittery ornaments that were then popped up with pop dots and hung by some thin grosgrain ribbon colored with a brown Copic marker. You can see the shimmer and the thick glossy finish in this detail picture.My sentiment is stamped right onto the dp with ColorBox Dark Brown ink and a simple green grosgrain ribbon and bow give this card it's classic look.
