Here's what I made with the embossing folder:
Using dry embossing, stamping, die-cutting, heat-embossing
It was so fun making a card using an embossed aluminum foil last month that I did it again. 😊
First, I cut a panel of cardstock and wrapped it with aluminum foil, then I dry embossed the leaves. I dropped a few colors of alcohol ink on the embossed foil and spread them with the AI applicator and blending solution.
I die cut a leaf out of a piece of vellum and used the negative as a leaf-shaped window. The sentiment was gold heat-embossed on the vellum.
Finally everything was layered - the stitched frame, the die-cut vellum piece, the embossed & colored foil panel - on the card base.
I really liked how the embossed & colored leaves showed up through the vellum.
The challenge is open until November 24th. I hope you play along too.

This is gorgeous Hideko! LOVE the embossed aluminum foil with the alcohol inks. So beautiful. LOVE the leaf shaped aperture cut from vellum. The vellum provides a soft and dreamy background as well as letting the background show through ... so creative! xx
ReplyDeleteWow, Hideko! The embossed AI leaves background is gorgeous! Toning it down by overlaying it with a vellum leaf aperture is clever and creative! xx
ReplyDeleteStunning foil with alcohol ink coloring, Hideko. But your vellum with aperture really added an amazingly creative effect along with the leaves under the vellum. TFS the close up, which really helped me visualize your beautiful techniques. So pleased you joined us, my friend at CAS Mix up.

WOW! I really need to use the foil and alcohol ink because this is GORGEOUS! I love how you've used the vellum to highlight the leaf shape and give just a hint of the color surrounding it! Very creative and so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the vellum mutes the colours. And then the true brilliance of them shows through the leaf-shaped window. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThere are few things I love more in my craft stash than my [60+] embossing folders, and the perfectly gorgeous look of vellum! Hideko, you've combined them so beautifully - still am in total awe of that fabulous foil trick of yours! xx
