A kiss from a rose . . .

is one of my favorite songs ~ ever!

This adorable cluster reminded me of that song.

It's called Floral Cluster #D22N

and is a new addition to the

Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts store

Measuring just 3.5" x 3.5"

it would make a perfect addition to a scrapbook page

or

an enclosure card.

I decided on a 4" x 4" enclosure card

with one of my favorite color combos,

blue & brown.

We know embossing powder is magic 

and

this embossing powder is really magic!

I'm using Hidden Color Embossing Powder

with

VersaMark.

Hidden Color Embossing Powder

takes on the background color of the paper or ink

that you use

and adds copper to it.

I stamped this Cluster with VersaMark

and sprinkled the 

Hidden Color powder on top.

Heat set as usual with embossing powder 

and . . . 

you can see that the kraft color shows

with subtle shades of copper mixed in.

Love this!

If I would have used purple ink,

it would have been purple with subtle copper showing thru.

Pretty Cool!

When adding skinny pieces like this Cluster to cardstock,

I always use

Designer Dries Clear adhesive with the metal tip.

There's a reason.

When you use the adhesive, no matter how careful you are

there's going to be some oozing of the glue.

It happens.

Most wet adhesives will dry with a shine.

But not this one - it really does dry clear

every. single. time.

The photos above show the ooze,

even though I was careful with that tiny tip.

Here's the after photo of the adhesive dry.

Absolutely no shine.

Can't even tell I used wet adhesive.

Thanks for visiting with me today.

See you in a couple of weeks.
