I began by cutting a matte from Gold Foil paper and attached it to my work surface using temporary adhesive. I then lightly dragged my Stazon pad across the foil, leaving streaks.
Using my heat tool, I dried the ink and then used leaves from the Rooted in Nature bundle to stamp on the foil. Because the leaves were going to be in a random pattern, I used a stamp block but next time, I will probably use the Stamparatus because it is very easy for the stamp to "slip" on the slick surface.
After drying the ink again, this time I used my Versamark ink pad to drag very lightly across the matte, and then sprinkled it with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. After heating it, the matte was simply beautiful, with lovely, shimmery streaks!
I matted this piece with Basic Black and added a Shimmery Black knotted ribbon. The matte was then adhered to a Tranquil Tide card front using Dimensionals.
Using a trick from Lisa Curcio, I used my Everyday Label Punch with strips of both Basic Black and Gold Foil to create a layered tag. I used stamps from the May 2018 Paper Pumpkin to stamp the sentiment with Stazon. The tag was assembled and added to the card front using Dimensionals.
I used the Framelits to cut out and then emboss two leaves on Tranquil Tide and stamped and die cut the leaf cluster. These were attached to the card front using Glue Dots and Dimensionals.
On a Very Vanilla matte, I stamped and stamped off to create a bottom border using Tranquil Tide.
I think my husband will enjoy this card!
