Designer Tip: I love the look of the Perfect Pearls™ with the embossing folders. I wanted to show two techniques, so I did one on the front and another on the inside (which could also be used on a card front).
Instructions:
- Front: Place the card with the fold at the top. Cover the card front with hot air balloon paper. Cut a piece of heavy brown cardstock to fit the embossing folder. Open the embossing folder to the inside. Cover the brayer with VersaMark™ ink by rolling it repeatedly on the ink pad until it has an even coat of ink. Roll the ink onto the side of the embossing folder without the black design. Run the cardstock in the folder through the die-cutting/embossing machine following your machine manufacturer’s instructions. Using the red, copper, and gold Perfect Pearls™ colors, pounce all three colors all over the piece in various areas with the paintbrush. Once all the areas are covered, use a rapid brushing motion to remove excess Perfect Pearls™. Set with a heat gun. Stamp "With Love & Caring" in the center with VersaMark™ and cover with gold embossing powder. Tap off the excess, and set with a heat gun. Glue to the center of the card. Apply a strand of 4 gold nailheads to each corner of the brown cardstock as shown.
- Inside: Cover inside with hot air balloon paper. Emboss another brown cardstock piece with the embossing folder. Cut out the label shape. Sponge VersaMark™ ink around the frame of the label. Apply Perfect Pearls™ the same way you did on the front piece. Set with a heat gun and brush off excess. Stamp and emboss "Thinking of You" in the center and glue to card. Add gold nailheads as shown.
