Vertigo Tip:  Stamping on Vertigo can be tricky.  I stamped repeatedly with the Brilliance Dew Drops Inks using MISTI.  I also stamped the ornaments on white cardstock and layered it to give the stamped image more "pop".  MISTI allows me to stamp multiple images in the exact same place either on the same die or on multiple dies.  I really love MISTI.  To attach the Vertigo to the card, I punched tiny holes on each side of the string and tied a bow connecting both the Vertigo and the cardstock.  This way I didn't have to worry about adhesive showing through.

Happy 2015!

Wishing all a happy, prosperous and healthy 2015!

Vertigo Tips:  Embossing with folders can be a tricky process.  Test the folder and a scrap (unlike what I did).  Some folders emboss nicely, others emboss too deeply and cause the film to buckle.

Okay, the pictures don't do the cards justice.  In the one above you can really see the "vertigo" effect of the specialty paper by Imagine Crafts.  I wanted to show the semi-transparent effect, so I created a top-hinge card and put the inside sentiment behind the focal point (heart).  You can see some of the adhesive used on the Vertigo, but I don't think it's terribly distracting.
