Carol had fun with lots of different colours of Inka Gold (made by Viva Decor) and several Tando chipboard shapes combined into this fab piece.The journaling block was embossed in the bug and then covered with graphite Inka Gold before orange Inka Gold was smeared across the piece.
The hearts from the little frame in the middle were removed and covered with lava red Inka Gold then covered with Glossy Accents. The image is from some Graphic 45 paper with the face hi-lighted using an acrylic fragment. The frame was coated with lava green and edged with graphite Inka Gold. The dragonfly was coated with orange and then edged with the lava green pastes before having some metal heads attached.

Sorry to give you a Christmas project in May but ever since I first saw the bookplates, I've had the idea in my head that they'd make fun Christmas tree ornaments!I covered my book plate with some Gold Leaf Rub n Buff (made by Amaco). I then hit the frame repeatedly with the fatter end of my embossing stylus to get the look of beaten metal. The sentiment is stamped onto an oval of cardstock trimmed to fit the back of the plate. I added a thin layer of glitter for extra festive sparkle and then finished with a stamped Santa and some pearls.
Full details of supplies are {here} on my blog if anyone would like them.
