More "metal embossing"

I can't stop making all these little metal embellishments!!  The tutorial can be found here, and below are a couple more ideas of how to make them.

This time a used my stamps to stamp a design and then go over it with fabric paint.  

Here are the stamps I chose, 2 rubber ones, and 2 foam ones.

Traced over in fabric paint!

Covered in tape and embossed. :)

Cute little additions to any project!

Speaking of project, I'm trying to follow along and make a card a week with OCC Sketch Challenge. 

This is the sketch from July 29.

So trying to use my little metal embellishments, I came up with this:

I didn't like the little snowflake punches.  

Also note that the ribbon bits on the sides were added because I put clear nail polish on the sides of the green ribbon so that it wouldn't fray, but of course that left dark marks... so I covered it with cute stapled on ribbon bits! :)

Also, I have 2 ink pads that no matter what I stamp them on the NEVER seem to dry.  Actually my best friend gave them to me because she was super frustrated with them for this reason.  Being inventive I took them and figured I could work something out.

I did.  The word "JOY" is stamped and then I traced over it with Diamond Glaze which nicely seals in the ink.  Success!!  (don't have diamond glaze/can't find it, I think Mod Podge makes a very similar product - Dimensional Magic.  Actually there's a similar project done over at Fireflies and Jellybeans AND they're doing a Dimensional Magic Giveaway too - Tomorrow's the last day to enter!  I actually did this before I saw the Fireflies and Jellybeans card, great minds think alike I guess!!)

So next I decided to try to "fix" my card by adding more of my little metal looking embellishments.

Now it just felt like I threw tin foil on it.   I really hated this idea!

So then I decided that I liked the snowflakes, but not the over kill tin foil look.

I did the same thing with the snowflakes as I did with the word JOY!

Ah.  That's better! 

Still not 100% happy with it.  But its better. lol  I'd love to hear what you think!
