Alphabet of Tricks - Y & Z

My final letters in the Alphabet of Tricks set. The Y was made using an eraser stamp that I carved, stamped and then sprinkled with embossing powder while the image was still moist. I then heated the embossing powder to make it raised and shiny. The Z is 23 K Gold Leaf on an Instacoll base. Now I need to bind the alphabet, and photograph the finished project.
