My local bead store recently received the new Sizzix/Vintaj embossing and etching folders. I had to buy one of each and play with them a bit. I decided to add some embossing powder but the color came out dark so I covered some of the pieces with white alcohol mixative and some with white paint. I then added the colored AI to them and then covered the whole front with clear embossing powder. While the embossing powder was soft, I set in some flat back crystals. Now I need to read the tutorials to find out how to REALLY do it! The charms on the left are done on Vintaj blanks. I really love the etching die the clockface is from. The tags on the right are brass I ordered from Fancifulsinc.com. I thought they were blank tags that were 50% off. Imagine my surprise when I opened them and discovered they actually said 50% off on them! Can't see it once it was embossed. I really like the crisp image from the embossing folder. Easier to fill the crevices with embossing powders but I love the images on the etching folder - it also has a bird cage and bird. I'm off the the bead store to buy some more blanks so I can play. These are small - the rectangles are slightly more than 1" in length, the tags are slightly smaller.
