Tips and Tricks - Heat Embossing on Metal

Hi there!  It's Barb and time for another Tips and Tricks Thursday with Skipping Stones Design.  A while back I did some embossing on metal by stamping the back and using a stylus to dry emboss.  This time I wanted to use metal again, but with heat embossing...so gather a few supplies:

You'll need some metal sheets like these from Spellbinders, a Versamark pad, some embossing powder, a heat tool, and a stamp...I really like dragonflies so I used this great set from Skipping Stones Design called Always Here.  Ink up your stamp with Versamark and stamp on the metal:

Then trim around the image...it's super easy to cut the metal with an ordinary pair of craft scissors.

I also stamped the image onto this metal tag to use later:

Add the dragonfly to a card along with some ribbon, a little bling, heat emboss a sentiment, and you're done:

I love the filigree design on the wings.  I used Sentiment Frames for the 'Congratulations', it's perfect for heat embossing!
