This is a card I made from the leftovers of the card previously posted using foil. I accidentally threw the die cut double sided paper onto some glitter paper and when I saw them laying together I had a light bulb idea on how to use both together to make a foiled glittery design.
I added the sticky peeled off paper to the foil and then peeled off the top layer and on that I added the foil which is a pretty shade of red. I embossed the sentiment in gold which is from the Gina K. Designs The Simple Things set. This panel was then added to a base card of Gina K. Designs Ivory card stock.
The Cheery Lynn Designs die used:
Small Leaves #1 D133
This will be entered into the Dies R Us Challenge-Thankful for Nature (Thank You or Nature Based).
I am so tickled that I found a way to use foiling without the purchase of a laminating machine and a printer. And even more happy that some long lost foil papers are finally seeing some love.
Thanks for all your lovely comments. Have a great day.
God bless,
Verna
