On this ornament tag, I stamped the ornament like w/ ornament card & water colored similarly, but I did not use the gold gel pen. After 3 coats of clear embossing powder, it started to do a cracked glass thing, so I heated it & tilted it until these perfect little round drops of melted ep dripped off onto my craft sheet. Then I added a layer of a holographic ep but decided it was too much & heated it until most of it dripped off. Now just a little sparkle is left & I like it much better.
The perfect little round “dew drops” of melted ep were glued on as berries & embellishments on the card in the previous upload.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Both of your pieces are lovely, Julie....but I like this one just because I favor its ornament......that highlight came out beautifully. Really a stunning tag...that I hope it is saved or recycled onto a card.....it's much too lovely to be thrown out with the wrapping trash! : )

The sparkle that you kept on this looks beautiful, Julie. I find when I do several layers of EP, it starts going opaque. But it is a forgiving thing to work with, and you have worked magic with yours.

This tag is just gorgeous! I love the water colored ornament with the embossing on top! Wow, you are brave a well to heat and keep doing and "un-doing" until you had it just perfect! If I had been doing it and didn't like it it would have gone in the circular file because I never would have thought of letting it melt off and re-doing! Now maybe I will! You are brilliant!
