I really wanted to use colored cardstock for a background after seeing Stephanie's example for last week's PTI MIM. Again I used PTI Snowflake Flurries stamps & dies.
June already & that means 4th of July is just around the corner! The current PTI MIM challenge is baby wipe inking & one of Ashley's examples was to make stripes.
Loving the foiling you've done. Yes the vintage look does look good and would be good to see the technique again with full coverage as well. Such a pretty effect with the rainbow foils. Love the classy second card and the technique on the third card is fabulous x
ReplyDeleteI love your tag!! The colours are really gorgeous and the distressed look makes it even more beautiful! Loving the blue and silver together there too and you did a great stars and stripes!
ReplyDeleteWow Greta, look at you go! I'm glad you found a laminator at Target. Your cards are just great. I love the varigated card and the blue and silver is a showstopper. I haven't heard of using embossing paste but have heard of using embossing powder. There are all kinds of ways to foil. I have a list of things I want to try. That is a cool way of doing the flag. I love the stripes and the foiled stars really shine.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Greta! Just love the foil and the baby wipe inking!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Greta, the foiling looks great...looking forward to more foiled goodies from you.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shiny cards . Foiling is obviously going big...I've just ordered some Deco Art gel and foil!
ReplyDeleteLOOK at you go!!!!! Your tag is so cool, love all the colors and the other card...very elegant!! I haven't even tried foil lol geezzzzz!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous trio of amazing cards! I love your use of the foil, the only thing I use foil for is to cover leftovers with. I may have to take a look to see how to do this. Love your incredible creations.

ReplyDeleteGreat cards Greta. I'm loving foiling too at the moment. Didn't think of using embossing paste. Will have to try and find the video to watch. Love the rainbow foil. I'll be looking for some of that at the craft fair I'm off to at the end of the month.
