Vintaj and Sizzix teamed up for a fun, week-long blog hop, to bring you an entire week of crafts using the brand new Sizzix Bezel Framelits Dies and the Vintaj brass Bezels.
Today is my day to share inspiration with you!
I created a clean and simple natured inspired necklace using the Sizzix Fern Fronds DecoEmboss die, Eclectic Bezels, Oval Bezel Decorative Pendant, Vintaj Glaze, foil, and Vintaj Patina.
I started by using the bezel die to die cut an oval from copper foil. I then embossed the foil oval using the Fern Fronds DecoEmboss die. I added several colors of patina to the debossed areas of the image impression, and waited for the patina colors to dry.
Once dry, I used a fine sand paper to brighten up the raised areas of the embossed design, to really bring out the copper color of the foil. I adhered the foil to the decorative pendant and sealed the entire surface of the foil with Glaze.

I found some antiqued copper colored charms and beads in my stash and created some complimentary accent pieces for my pendant. I attached them all to a leather cord using similarly colored jump rings.
I had so much fun creating this necklace. Such a nice change of pace from my usual every-day crafting!
Now, use the following list to check out the daily inspiration - make special note of the scheduled post date for each one!
