'Magic Metal' Technique Blog Hop Challenge!

I made this card for Blockheads 'Magic Metal' Technique Blog Hop Challenge!


Cut a piece of card to fit the stamp. Using Versamark completely cover the card. Using ultrathick embossing powder springle over the inked card and melt with heat tool, repeat this about three or four times to get a nice thickness to stamp your stamp into, once you have done this press the stamp onto the melted embossing powder while its hot to get a nice impression! I cut a piece of mirror board slightly bigger and attached it to the embossed melted card. I used a piece of white cardstock and run this through my Cuttlebug using a embossing folder, I attached this to black cardstock firstly attaching the gold fibre and gold brads.
