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.
Thanks for visiting!
