Welcome to another edition of A Touch of Sparkle with Carissa where I share simple ways to add a touch of sparkle or shine to your paper crafting projects!

How to Add Shine to Your Press Plates Without Foil!
Today, I'm playing with the new Raised Sentiments 3D Embossing Folder to add a lot of dimension to my backgrounds! I'll also be featuring the Inked Poppies Press Plate and Timeless Sentiments Die Set.
Combining these products will add lots of dimension to these handmade card projects and play off of a mixed media vibe.
Tip! Use Antique Gold pigment ink to add shine to any press plate image without using foil!
I added a simple die-cut greeting over my dimensional backgrounds to keep the cards clean and simple.
