This card is for Dini's (Dina's) challenge,
"Hold Onto Your Hope," to make a card with a handle on it. I thought this cute faux alligator purse, with it's "Already Miss You" sentiment would be perfect for HYCCT!

Hi Gayle, thanks for asking! You take your punched out paper, in whatever color you want to use (wild wasabi and garden green used here). Cover the piece with VersaMark ink, sprinkle with clear embossing powder, and then, before heat setting, use a blunt-tip tool (such as an embossing stylus), to run random wavy lines through the embossing powder. Then heat set. Voila--instant faux alligator!

What a great purse and I love how you created the alligator skin texture. Perfect sentiment to finish out your card. Well done.
