Recently a few of us played with foil over Zoom. One of the techniques we tried was dry embossing foil cs and then sanding off some of the raised layer to reveal the core colour of the foil cs. See this video by Jennifer Maguire.
I enjoyed the technique so much that I used it to create a card for a couple of October challenges that call for snowflakes. Here's my card:
I embossed a piece of blue foil cs with a snowflake swirl embossing folder and then sanded off the raised area. It revealed a silver colour under the blue so I added it to a silver shimmer card base and die cut a couple of snowflakes and a Tim Holtz sentiment circle out of the same silver shimmer cs.
For these challenges:
Christmas Cards All Year Round "Something that Starts with S or T"
Christmas 24 Challenge "Simply Snowflakes"
Supplies:
Paper - blue matte foil and silver shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Cuttlebug embossing folder, TH snow circle die, Impression Obsession snowflake dies
The technique sure does produce a unique and beautiful effect. A stunner of a card Susan x.

ReplyDeleteFabulous embossed snowflake card, Susan! The sanded silver part shows so beautifully, and the silver shimmer card base and die-cuts give the card a sense of unity.
