Almost foiled!

It's the start of another week and already April is slipping by! Today I am sharing a card inspired by the photo prompt at Time Out Challenge and I added a touch of foil to meet the theme at Simon Monday Challenge.  I also added a bit of textured stencilling in the background inspired by CAS Stencil Challenge.


Like a few of the other people participating in CAS Stencil challenge, I found my embossing paste had dried up. To solve this issue, I used dimension paint and glitter. It's a bit on the grey side, but nevermind. The other problem, was that all my foiling supplies are at our beachouse, but I then remembered some copper foil tape I bought at a craft fair! 

The stencil is from MFT and the butterfly stamp is from Kaisercraft. I thought the stipey butterfly echoed the blue stripes in the pic and I just sloshed on a touch of watered down pistachio distress ink. 


THEME: 'Don't be fooled - be foiled'
