Foiled!


I practised adding some foils to images yesterday, because the Mixed Media Card Challenge has foil as an optional element this month. I didn't include it in my first card, but thought I should have a bit of a play. This is my 1st attempt and I will have more to share very soon.

I took some designer paper and spritzed some Color Shine and Dylusion sprays  over it to make it a pretty,  bright home for my shiny butterfly.  I stamped the butterfly  on to black card using a tacky glue and then rubbed really hard on both sides. Then I ran it through a laminator, inside a piece of paper. It's not perfect, but hey,  that's the beauty of Mixed Media! Then I added  the metal embellishment rto the butterfly and the STAMPlorations sentiment.

You can see more inspiration at the Mixed Media Card Challenge and join in the fun here.



I'm entering this in the Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes and Craft Stamper Take it Make it Challenge - Take a Stamp Anything Goes 
ETA: I thought I would enter this in Virginia's View Challenge #14 Layers & Dimension, because, well, I have both!
