- The Faux Metal Embossing technique requires several layers of metal embossing on a sturdy piece of cardstock such as Shimmery White. You add Versamark Ink straight to the cardstock with your inkpad, add the Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder (or any other metallic embossing powder), tap off the excess and heat set it with the heat tool.
- Repeat this process about 4 more times gradually concentrating the powder more towards the center. Have a couple of larger stamps with detailed images inked up with Versamark ink ready to go for the last time you do this process.
- As soon as you finish heat setting the powder on the fifth embossing, press the stamps that are inked up with Versamark into the metal embossing firmly and let them stay there until it has cooled. Then gently remove them. They should leave an impression in the metallic embossing. If not reheat the embossed metal gently and try again, or to add a second image, reheat, add some new powder and press in the second stamp.
- The rest of the card has a Mossy Meadow card base of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", Forever Greenery DSP as a background and the sentiment from Loyal Leaves embossed in Gold on Mossy Meadow and die cut with one of the Tasteful Labels dies.
- On Very Vanilla cardstock, I embossed one of the leaf images from the set in Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and fussy cut it. I added it to the Faux Metal Embossing Panel using Glue Dots.
- I added braided linen trim in Mossy Meadow.
