I recently played around with creating faux metal embellishments.  They are pretty easy to make, and add an amazing amount of dimension and shine.
To make these I cut 3 of the large flourish from the Flourish Thinlits and glued them together.  Then I smeared VersaMark ink all over them, trying to get along the edges, too.  Then I covered it in Copper Embossing Powder and melted it with my heat tool.  Once it was cool, I coated again with the VersaMark and embossing powder.  I did a total of 3 coats of VersaMark and embossing powder.
I also stamped the sentiment from Flourishing Phrases in VersaMark on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, and embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder.  Then I mounted it on another Very Vanilla panel that I embossed with the Festive Embossing Folder, and a Very Vanilla card base.
Here’s the second card I made with this type of embellishments.
This time I used the sprig of leaves from the Flourish Thinlits, and made 3 sets of 3 cutouts glued together.  I used the same technique, embossing one in Gold, one in Silver, and one in Copper Embossing Powders.  I layered them on a Very Vanilla panel that was embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder and a mat of Soft Suede.  

I also stamped a Very Vanilla panel with the double leaf stamp from Flourishing Phrases, inking it up and then stamping off each time with Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate inks.  All of these were mounted on a Soft Suede card base.  

The sentiment is from the My Hero stamp set, which is this year’s Ronald McDonald House Charities benefit stamp.  It coordinates with the banner in the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits, which are on sale in this week’s Special Offers!

Here is the tutorial by Amy McGuire that I watched to learn how to make these:
