Happy New Year 2015 Tag

Created this tag using a technique that Gail Scott of I Like Paper inspired me to try that makes the heat embossing on white cardstock look like gold foil. She die cut numbers "25" out of white cardstock, used VersaMark on the die cuts & then heat embossed gold embossing powder on the die cuts. You can click here to see Gail's card. I did not like the way my "2015" dies look heat embossed so I tried a couple different things and what worked for me was to cut 2" x 2" white cardstock, use Versamark on the 2" x 2" white cardstock, heat emboss the 2"x 2" white cardstock with gold embossing powder, allow the heat embossing to dry & then die cut the "2015" using Sizzix Shadow Box Numbers dies. Stamped the My Craft Spot Tiny Tags Christmas sentiment "Happy New Year" and placed the gold heat embossed "2015" on the tag. Used gold ink on the edges of the tag. Added gold ribbon.
