It's October.....

When I saw PTI's Make It Monday #184 - Gold Dipped Die-cuts, I knew I would have to try this technique.  And of course I had to buy the Leaf Prints dies to do it!

I started with a Canyon Clay cardstock card base and added a layer of "Fall-ish" looking striped pattern paper.  Next, I die-cut the bookmark in Vintage Cream cardstock and stamped the sentiment on it in dark brown ink.  I wrapped thin gold cording around the top and adhered it to the card.

I die-cut the leaves in the same Canyon Clay cardstock, dipped the edges in Versamark ink, sprinkled them with gold Zing embossing powder and heated it with my heat tool.  I love watching the embossing powder turn shiny as it heats!  I placed the two leaves on foam tape for a bit of dimension.
