Happy November to you! I’m still holding on to a bit of sunshine with a bright and colorful card design—keep reading for instructions and don’t forget to tune in to Studio SN on You Tube to see the Foiled Backgrounds with WOW! video tutorial.
Foiled Backgrounds with WOW, what you need—
- Glitter Gold Fab Foil (WOW! Embossing Powder)
- Bonding Powder (WOW! Embossing Powder)
- Clear Ultra Slow Embossing Pad (WOW! Embossing Powder)
- Kaleidoscope patterned papers (Fab Scraps)
- Just Saying stamps (WOW! Embossing Powder)
- Black ink
- Brayer
- Bone folder or other folding tool (a spoon will do)
- Heat tool
- Green, white, pink, yellow cardstock
- Silk flowers, rhinestones, button, pink twine
Foiled Backgrounds with WOW, how to make it—
Roll the brayer across the embossing inkpad and across the white cardstock. Sprinkle with bonding powder. Tap off the excess. Heat set.
While the bonding powder is still hot, apply the foil sheet on top with the colored side up. Smooth with your hands and a bone folder or other scoring tool. Let cool. Peel off the excess to reveal the abstract background.
Cover the card front with yellow. Trim patterned paper slightly smaller, then mat on white and glue to the center of the card.
Trim the foiled piece to 3.5″ x 5″ and mat on pink and green. Wrap with pink twine. Layer flowers on top and place a button in the center, then glue as shown. Add rhinestones at the top left.
Stamp “thanks” with black ink on white cardstock. Mat on green and glue as shown.
That’s it! Even better, you can do some amazing effects using any of the foils on bright or black cardstock as well. Just pop by Studio SN on You Tube to see the those examples, plus step-by-step instructions for this project, on the Foiled Backgrounds with WOW! video.
