Thanks Patty for showing...I was going to do a video when we got back from Fiji and then I got sick and had no voice.
That definitely was everyone's favorite demo that I showed in Fiji.
Glenda said "all you had to do was bring the brads!". Ha!
Hugs, and see you soon,
Di

Boy, you are right, Patty! That's a great technique, and I give Di lots of credit for coming up it. And thanks to you, too, for letting us know about it.

I never thought to emboss the antique brads! Great idea. I've been embossing regular brads to customize to my projects for years. I use a different technique however. I heat up the brad, held with tweezers, first, then I dip it in the EP of my choice. The heat makes it melt right into the brad without the need of VM. Don't know if that same method would work with the antique brads since they are more detailed, so using the VM seems to be the best way to capture the details on those antique brads.

Great technique, Patty! I have embossed regular brads for a long time, but never thought of doing it with the Antique brads. They look so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.
