Pendants

I've been working on some pendants to give as small gifts for the holidays and finished this one and wanted to share.

I started with a pendant shell from Crafters Cafe. I used Grungeboard for the base and glued red foil on top; ran it through one of the border embossing folders by Cuttlebug. Then, I highlighted the raised areas with alcohol inks and a Krylon gold leafing pen. When dry I inserted it in the pendant and sealed it with a heavy coat of Diamond Glaze. The interesting thing is the Diamond Glaze and the alchohol inks reacted in such a way that the red appears more orange. Some of the pendants will be embellishments for tags rather than attached and be worn as a necklace.
