Happy Monday everyone! Today I'm sharing a card that I made using Jen T's great sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches:
I actually made this card a couple of days ago, but it's taken me until now to get around to sharing with you. Firstly, take a look at my card:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
This is a great layout from Jen that is wide open to interpretation. I kept things really simple though because I wanted to use it to showcase a new Press & Foil Glimmer plate that I got from Spellbinders called 'Thanks in Bloom'. Yes, I have joined the hot foil fan club! And for anyone reading this who is also slow to the party like me, be warned - it's addictive! I foiled my plate in gold onto a Melon Mambo card base (my favourite pink) - it's so exciting when you peel back the foil sheet and see the foiled image beneath. I also decided to foil my sentiment in gold onto pink so that it would blend in; I trimmed it and popped it up on dimensionals to complete my card:
I do have a bonus second card to share with you today; I used my reverse hot foil plate to add the negative image on the foil sheet to another piece of cardstock (this time I used Berry Burst) to make a second card from the same print and added the sentiment in the same place:
This one is even more tricky to photograph due to all of that shiny gold - you can see some of the detail (along with the reflection of my lamp!) in the close up below:
I'm not sure I will do this every time, as in the words of my dear husband it is a 'little bit too gold' I think, but it was fun to try it out for the first time.
Right, I'm racing off to the FMS gallery and then I need to get a little more organised with my remaining blog posts for the week!
Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
