Pam asked for particulars on this technique.

We took just a square of paper for the "coin". Covered it with versarmark. Then added gold embossing powder. Heated the embossing powerd. Added more versarmark & more embossing powder. Did this 3 times. After the 3rd time, while the "liquid" was still hot, we pressed a pre-versarmarked stamp into the "liquid", trying not to smear & pushing fairly hard. After a minute or so, we pulled the stamp out & were left w/the impression. For the coin, we punched the embossed section out. I thought that would be hard but, I guess the embossing is not as "hard" as it looks. I do like the look of the "un-cut" tag better. The embossing melts all the way to the edges & makes it look more "metal-like". But the coin is cool too.
