We used versa mark ink to stamp the letters on to the tags and then heat set clear embossing powder on the letters. After it cools, you lightly dry brush a contrast color of acrylic paint over the letters in quick strokes. Let it dry. After the paint is dry, lightly sand over the raised embossed area to remove the paint from the letters. The result is a shabby chic teen anyx look that really makes a page! The best part? I used, metal tags, brads, and paint all on one piece of the layout. Oh yeah and don't forget the 8 x 10 paper I used as a strip of red under the row of photos! If you look closely, I also added silver star brads on the upper right hand border on the guitar, making the background image jump forward.
And speaking of the background paper? Did you catch that it is a right side only sheet of patterned paper? I used a plain black sheet for the left side background and dressed it up with foil diecuts to blend with the printed page on the right. You gotta watch me, I am clever sometimes.
