This is the new & cool Ampersand Embossing Folder!  Using a Brayer you load Early Espresso ink and roll it along the Embossing folder (depending on the side you use, you can create the paper to pop thru the now modified background or de-boss a colored image in.  See this older video of mine on this cool technique & let me know what you think!

 

The Pretty Soho Subway has these Ampersand (& sign) images on the vintage newsprint pages.  Centering the Ampersand Embossing Folder over the Island Indigo image then embossing the Brayered side through the Big Shot.  This raised & vintage Ampersand has a cool Ampersand in the middle.

This is a cool technique takes the Tea Lace Paper Doily from lacy & pretty to cool & metallic & Rock n Roll!

Place the Cut (or whole) doily, here it's quartered, over the Gold Encore Metallic pad.  Using the Grid Paper or a spare scrap lay it over the doily on the pad.  Rub with your Bone Folder.  Your Bone Folder will stay clean.  Carefully remove and lay to the side.

Adhesive the embossed double Ampersand vintage page to the Island Indigo folded and boned card with SNAIL adhesive.  Adhesive the corner where you want the gold doily.  Carefully lay the gilded doily over the corner. 

Turn the card over on the Grid paper (I always stamp on my Grid paper!!) and rub from behind with the Bone Folder. This will help both sheets to stick better to the card and allow the for the gilded doily to dry.

Apply Sticky Strip across the bottom the the card.  Remove the protective covering.  Add the Gold Sequin Trim to the top.  Push the trim into the Sticky Strip as you go.  Cut off at the end.  I had one spare sequin fall off the end and applied it to the Sticky Strip under the last.
