The Renaissance with Nichole

I have been looking forward to this challenge and I must say that I really enjoyed the velvet technique that Nichole showed us.

I really wanted to use a Tim Holtz alphabet that I have but quickly realized that the letters would
be backwards with the way you do this. Canned that idea, but I still wanted to make a coaster. I used my new Fancy That set(quite nervous bringing an iron to it-even if there was material inbetween!!)

Anyway, I did not ruin my new stamp and I was quite pleased with the results. i just need to come up with something around the edges, it looks too unfinished for my taste! The edge is raw material and cork(I just realized you can't see it!!)   Anyway, I hope to work on that!
