Hey there! It's time for another Everything but the Kitchen Sink challenge, and Ann is got a GOOOOD one.
Isn't that so fun? My first thought was to cover some buttons with it, and that did work. However, I realized at some point that embossing it would be really easy since it's so pliable. I used one of my embossing folders, and it worked like a charm. I will say that once you emboss it, handle it as little as possible! I learned that the hard way. Here's my card:
I broke out some super fun Amy Butler papers and of course some tape, and my WPlus9 stamps. Speaking of WPlus9, Dawn is our sponsor this week!
The winner of this challenge will get to pick one stamp set of their choice (excludes the bundle pack), and they will have the opportunity to come be our guest designer! Now how fun is that.
To Make:
1. Make card from cardstock.
2. Cut 5.5" x 4" stripe of patterned paper.
3. Cut stripe of patterned paper, stamp sentiment.
4. Emboss aluminum foil, adhere both aluminum foil and paper.
5. Adhere stripe of tape and tie bow. Adhere piece.
6.Stamp leaf stamp twice, cut and adhere with foam tape.
Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Foliage, Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions (WPlus9)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Patterned Paper: Amy Butler
Cardstock: Basic Grey (Stampin' Up)
Misc: Ribbon Hibiscus Burst (Papertrey Ink), Teal Tape (Lovemytapes), Aluminum Foil, Houndtooth Embossing Folder (Cricut)
Come check out what the other girls make and let's see what you can create with foil! It's sure to be a creative journey...
