Hey there! Lizzy here with a lovely simple project to share...I'm starting on increasing my card stash & thought I'd have a play with some Vellum. Which I've dry embossed. Then heat embossed. With gold, then pearl powders...& THEN I decided the silver trinket could do with some heat embossing too....so on it went!!!
I popped on some gesso, then sprinkled the gold embossing powder over it whilst still 'wet' - that way it sticks until I got it heated. Worked a treat. See for yourself:
Oh, and the sentiment has pretty much been given the same treatment!!!
I've also distressed the vellum, after using a border punch along the edges.
I've scattered some vintage gold buttons around...
You can't 'do' shabby chic without lace & trims, right??!!!! Below you can see that lovely golden shimmer:)
And below is a side view of the layers, with a 'semi-hidden' button: 
So, here's the finished card.....I did sooo enjoy making this one....now it's your turn to get out those embossing tools!!!
Goodies from Zeus & Zoe Etsy Shop include:
roses trim, buttons, patterned paper, fairy trinket & lace
Thanks for taking a peek ~ Cheers, Lizzy ♥♥♥
