Thursday Today's Tiles & Tips #6

These Todays Tiles cards are a real WOW in the flesh... all shimmery and glimmery as only a bit of heat embossing can do...

First up... gold embossed background... detail overstamped with Night of Navy...

And yes... I did stamp the the detail over the wrong way round to the bottom!!! But I didn't realise until just now... and the stamps have gone to their rightful owner... so I can't quickly make another! So here you have it... warts and all.... and all that!

Second up... Night of Navy background... detail over embossed in Gold... 

Spot the glimmer on this card... 

I quickly embossed this panel which meant that the Navy ink was still a bit wet... so I ended up with a lovely gold pearlescent sheen on navy... couldn't have planned that better if I tried...  though the perfectionists of you out there probably won't like the effect!

Finished off with a greeting on a Stitched Shapes square

And spot the difference on the panel sizes on the next photo of the cards... 

The gold embossed background on the right is stamped and set on a 10.5cm (4 1/8") panel... so it is the same size as the card blank...

Whereas as the navy background (to the left) is stamped on a 10.5cm (4 1/8") panel... which is then trimmed down to 10.1cm and mounted on a 10.5cm (4 1/8") card blank. I find this easier to get things to line up better... (though I could have set up my Stamparatus to do this for me with hindsight!)

Thank You greeting from So Sentimental... Sympathy from Peaceful Moments... two of my favourite greetings sets...
