My 1st Time Using the Faux Metal Technique

Supplies: Silver Embossing Powder on VersaMark Ink; Chipboard Tag; Stamp, "Mixed Bunch" by SU and "Tiny Tags" by SU; Ribbon, Everyday Enchantment Calypso Coral and Twine; Paper, "Everyday Enchantment" in Sale-a-Bration; Brad, SU Sale-a-Bration; Heating Gun

I'm doing a demo tomorrow on the Faux Metal Technique. And this is my 1st time doing it!!! Could be a little...um...interesting. lol The secret was to stamp the image while the embossing powder is still hot. Also heat it a little longer than usual so it's extra hot. For my tag, I used 4 layers of silver embossing powder. Hope that helps. Have a good weekend, everybody!

"Living the Good Life"

In "Living the Good Life" (Body + Soul Magazine, Dec. 2007), it stated "We asked our most trusted experts to share their best tips for living a healthier, saner, and more satisfying life." One of the key points in the article was to GET CREATIVE. "Write down the things you love, whether it's painting, singing, scrapbooking, or interior design. Next, force yourself to find some quiet time where your brain can empty out." EXPRESS YOURSELF. "Find some time every day to let your inner artist emerge, whether you're a born Picasso or not."
