Make It Monday #184: Gold Dipped Die-cuts


Over at Papertrey Ink this week, Danielle has a wonderful challenge, which is to emboss diecuts to look like they've been dipped in gold. I immediately thought of my PTI set, "Year of Flowers - Poinsettia". I have definitely gotten my money's worth from this set! I still love it (although a new, multi-step poinsettia stamp set is about to be released, and I think I must have it, too!!)



I added some depth to the flowers with Copic markers, gold embossed the "Merry", and used my Wet Paint Holiday die for "Christmas". I layered it with 3 white die cuts underneath, to give it a raised look. I cut out a panel to add some patterened paper underneath, added some Silhouette gold foil paper to the edges, then attached a few green pearls to finish it off.

All stamps, dies and paper are PTI, with the exception of the textured green paper for the sentiment, which was in my stash. Thanks for looking!
