Metallic Foil Graduation Card

 

I always think of graduations at this time of year which inspired me to put together this shiny Metallic Foil Graduation card.  I really like the shine of these metallic colors! I've combined green and blue foils.  That was a happy accident when I started to apply foil, I thought I had just a blue sheet in my hand.  When I peeled away the foil, I discovered there was a sheet of green foil under the blue. The sheets are so thin and cling together.  So I added blue with  the green and really liked it!

Stunning Embossed Foil Card

I've been experimenting with applying foil to card stock and then embossing it.  I like the results.  I put together this card one of the pieces.

I used pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors fastened to cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. before embossing it.  Then I applied Archival Jet Black ink over the embossed.  Over that I put clear embossing powder and heat embossed.  That seals the ink plus the heat adds a texture to foil.  I've tried embossing with foiled papers and they often crack but this doesn't do that.

I posted all the directions on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  You can find it HERE.

It's a technique that can be used with other embossing folders.  I find the 3D folders give the best results.
