All Occasion: Tarnished Foil Bee Happy!

For Father's Day, I made this card for all three of my children.  The foil was a silver foil sheet.  Layers of black StazOn, and gold, silver, and copper embossing powders were applied to the dry embossed foil sheet.  Love, love, love the tarnished foil look.

Birthday: Tarnished Foil 4 You

Another tarnished foil card.  I used the same technique and materials, but the results are always different.

Tarnished Foil: Clocks and Gears

I used gold paper for the base and added black stazon and silver, gold, and copper embossing powder.  The steps I used are:

• I covered a piece of white card stock with gold paper.
• I lightly coated the gold paper with Staz On.
• I stamped gears with Versa Mark  and embossed with gold embossing powder.
• I lightly coated the gold paper with Staz On again.
• I embossed with the gears embossing folder.
• I lightly coated the gold paper with Staz On again.
• I lightly coated with Versa Mark and embossed with copper embossing powder.
• I lightly coated with Versa Mark and embossed with silver embossing powder.
• I lightly coated with Staz On.

Birthday: Forest with Tarnished Foil

I saw this technique on SCS and just had to try it.  It takes quite a few steps, but it is quite easy.  

• I covered a piece of card stock with foil.
• I lightly coated the foil with Staz On.  
• I stamped the bushes with Versa Mark and then embossed with gold embossing powder.
• I lightly coated the foil with Staz On again.
• I embossed with the Woodland embossing folder.
• I lightly coated the foil with Staz On again.  
• I lightly coated the foil with Versa Mark and then embossed with silver embossing powder.  

I think I will try using copper embossing powder next time for an additional layer.
