TIN PAPER TAGS

 This week I am featuring the unique Paper Tags Bundle.  This set basically consists of greetings, but it is the coordinating dies that make it a great add to your paper crafting collection.


The pretty copper background from the Paper Tag was made using the Faux Tin Ceiling Technique.  I demonstrated a simplified version of this technique several weeks ago on my Learning with Friends Video series, but you can still watch the replay on YouTube.  


I used Copper Textured Metallic Foil and the So Swirly Embossing Folder to create the "Tin ceiling".


The card base is made with one of my all time favorite color, Pretty Peacock.  It pairs beautifully with the Basic Beige embossed top layer and the Copper Faux Tile.


The Paper Tag is a stamp that stamps the background of the sentiment rather than the greeting itself.  I stamped the image with VersaMark on Pretty Peacock, and then embossed it with White Embossing Powerder.

A faux bow was created with Basic Beige Ribbon and a scrap of retired copper ribbon that I found in my stash.


I used the same embossing folder for the Basic Beige mat on the inside of the card that I used for the card front layer.  It is one of two small embossing folders that come in the Glass & Gardens embossing folder pack.  

If I were to make the card again, I probably would not embosse the mat on the inside of the card again.  Since this is a narrow embossing folder I needed a practice try to get the front layer looking the way I likeed it.  So I just used the practice layer for the inside card mat.  Honestly, the embossing really doesn't show that much, so that step could be easily skipped.
