*fun*ky!
Hey y'all. Here's a card that is a little funky, but fun too. I used the "Tattered Florals" Tim Holtz Sizzix die. I cut out the flower pieces with some printed vellum, and again with some heavy duty aluminum foil (yeah, like from the kitchen). I actually cut it a third time with plain white card stock and adhered that to the foil pieces to give them some substance. Then I dry-embossed and cut some foil leaves out of the same kitchen foil using my new Walnut Hollow metal embossing kit. This kit was a semi-impulse buy at Hobby Lobby. (My 40% off coupon was burning a hole in my pocket and I have been wanting to try this for a while anyway.) I assembled the flower alternating the foil and vellum pieces and finished it with a shiny silver brad. Then I stained the leaves with some alcohol inks, put it all together and added the stamped sentiment. Like I said, FUNKY FUN! Peace.
