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.

Thank You: Embossed Front

 A friend is running for a state legislative seat and needed some thank you notes.  I wanted a clean and simple look.  I used Pistachio Pudding, Mossy Meadows, and white for the colors.  The stamp is from Lovely Amazing You for the inside of the card.
