Embossing for Rustic Gifts with Jean

A little extra to tuck into a gift.  Emerald Creek
Embossing Powders are fantastic and I especially like the metals, copper, gold, hammered pewter like and more.  Plus of course, we all need clear powders. 
 
I decided I would make ornaments to use with or as my gift tags.  Each one would become a little treasure that could be used on the tree or as a gift decoration.

I began with two collages, 3148 and 3084.  Each has an assortment of fun images from which to choose.
The one I will do for today is the larger and uses a slice of a wooden branch that has been sanded.   Since it is time for wood chopping, there may be extra branches left over.  
The shine and shimmer of the metallic embossing 
powders are amazing.  Santa's beard was done with Glacier White powder.   The copper edging used is Kettle Copper.  I used an embossing pen due to the small areas I would be covering.  

After embossing I applied the image to the wood disc and allowed it to dry.  The final step was to attach a mini clothespin to the back side, you can use E6000 for a totally forever hold or most craft glues will work.  Just clip the disc to a branch and VOILA!  You can also clip it to a gift bag or some ribbons.  ENJOY.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
