Hello friends, Emily here.  Today I'm sharing a card using Altenew's  Peony Scrolls , and  Super Script  stamp sets. First, i randomly stamped images from Peony Scrolls set... waited for it to dry or heat set.  Next, I stamped "friend" word in versamark and added HA embossing powder on top (STOP right here, do not heat the embossing powder).  I place a small piece of foil over, enough to cover "friend".  Then place my card in between a folded piece of parchment paper.  To set the foil, i used my Scotch laminator (so far I've been pretty happy with it).  I ran through the laminator twice, then gently remove the extra foil.  The result is really pretty in person. Thanks so much for stopping by! A close up look at the gold foil
