On these cards, I tried my hand at foiling for the first time! I love the shiny metallic finish it gives, but it is hard to capture that in photos. For this anniversary card, I stamped the floral bouquet from the Floral and Sayings stamp set onto white paper using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with regular white embossing powder. I always use my stamp platform when embossing! I then ran the stamped paper with a piece of foil (shiny side up) through my laminator (no carrier sheet). When the paper was cool, I peeled off the foil to reveal the image!
I used various oval dies to cut around the floral design and added a Happy Anniversary sticker to the center. I embellished with Pearl Pen dots in Gold and Ice White and white seam binding ribbon.For my second card, I followed the same foiling process except I used an ultrafine embossing powder and it gave a more bold foiled image. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Floral and Sayings stamp set in black. I added a double bow of Pink Midnight Trendy Twine in the bottom right corner.
See that metallic shine?! It definitely makes an eye-catching card!
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
