One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Make It Monday 184 gold dipped die cuts

The new Make It Monday is by Danielle and she has a very cool video along with three of her tags...go check it out!  She gold dipped her leaves and they look fantastic!  Her technique is dipping the edges of your die cut into versamark and then using gold embossing powder.  I needed a birthday card for my dad, he will be 93 on Saturday, so I pulled out Birthday Style and dipped the edges of the die cut balloon into the versamark and embossed with gold.  I also embossing the birthday and the little bubbles in gold.  the happy was cut from Phrase Play # 5 with Recollections gold paper.
I would love to play along again if I have time I really like how this looks...I especially loved Danielle's leaves and the buttons!
 
Heart Hugs!
