Hi, Friends......

I am back with another of my molten background cards.  You can see other examples here (including a description of the technique),  here, and here.  

For this card, I dry embossed some red cardstock using the Darice Christmas Tree embossing folder.  Then I Versamarked all over and heat embossed with some copper embossing powder, repeating the process several times to get a good molten effect.  Sorry for the shadowy photography!! 

 Here's an angled shot so you can see the shimmer of the metallic embossing powder.  Yum!!!  I added some pretty little rhinestones here and there for more sparkle.  :)


 Here's a close-up for a better peek at the molten look.  LOVE!!!  

This doesn't look very coppery.  My camera doesn't do well with colors when I am trying to show the shimmer.  (One or the other, Jeeves, but not both.  Yes, sir.)  But I think you get the idea after seeing several of these cards, right?

I mounted this panel onto a red card base.  Overall, it is almost a monochromatic look with the shimmery copper over the red cardstock and the red/orange tone rhinestones.  I like how it turned out.  

Let me know what you think, too.  I appreciate you taking time out of your busy holiday schedule to visit me.  I love reading your comments!!!  Hope your Christmas week is lovely!
