We will be celebrating Father's Day with my father-in-law... we always take him to breakfast or make one of his favorites at home. He knows what he is getting... a homemade card and a stack of vintage postcards!
His card this year is a simple one made with a sentiment from Altered Pages collage sheet "DAD's ARE GRAND" and a GYPSY SOUL LASER CUTS hot air balloon!
Dad a couple of years ago at breakfast on Father's Day!
A few day ago I shared how I cover chipboard with embossing powder. Today I am using Gold Leaf. First, cover the chipboard with adhesive, today I used a very thin coat of Tacky Glue... let it set a minute or tow so it is just tacky.
Cover the glued chipboard with Gold Leaf and burnish gently with your fingers... using a soft paint brush gently remove the excess.
Cut the sentiment from Altered Pages collage sheet "DAD's ARE GRAND"
Add a bit of ribbon and you are finished...
QUICK AND EASY!
WOW - that gold leafing makes the die cut gleam like ... well, like gold!
