Instructions : 1. Make a molten metal background piece as follows: generously spread school glue on a 2 ¾” x 6” piece of black glossy cardstock. Sprinkle small amounts of various colors of mica powders over the glue. Sprinkle with Green Iris glitter. Use a stipple brush to blend and cover the cardstock with the glue/powder mix. Heat with a heat gun until most of the bubbling stops. (Note: place your stipple brush immediately into water to keep the glue from hardening.) While still hot, sprinkle some Chartreuse embossing powder randomly over the surface and heat once more. When cool, trim to 2 ¾” x 4 ½”,edge with a gold leafing pen. Reserve the cut off portion.
2. On a 3 ⅜” x 4 ⅝” piece of black glossy cardstock, stamp the Noshi bundle using gold ink and emboss with detail gold powder. Use the glue pen to fill in some areas and apply the different colors of glitter. (Note: you will have to fill in and glitter areas one color at a time to keep from contaminating the colors.) Use the good luck punch in the lower right corner. Edge with the gold leafing pen and use the corner punch to notch the edges. Wrap a length of gold thread around the corner notches and secure on the back. Attach the reserved molten metal piece face up behind the good luck punch out.
3. On a piece of shrink plastic, stamp the greeting on the clear side of the plastic using Stazon ink. Cut out a tag shape around the greeting and punch a small hole in the tag. Edge with the gold leafing pen and use the heat gun to shrink it. Attach a scrap of metallic gold paper, face up, on the back side of the shrunken tag. Punch a small hole beneath the center of the noshi bundle. Run a length of gold thread through the tag, into the hole and secure on the back. Secure tag with adhesive. Attach a gold mini brad in the same hole.
4. Lightly spray a 3 ½” x 6” piece of cobalt blue cardstock with the bleach and let dry. Using black ink, stamp over the bleached piece using the woven rectangle, changing directions as you cover the entire piece. Edge with the gold leafing pen.
5. Attach a 5” x 6 ½” piece of woven patterned paper to the front of a 5” x 6 ½ “card. Attach the bleached and stamped background close to the left edge. Attach the molten metal background ½” from left edge and ¼” down from top. Attach image piece ¼” from right edge and ⅝” up from bottom.
