March 2014 Stamping Technique - Foil Vellum Resist

By the time that you read this, I will be in sunny Florida visiting my mom and dad who had the good sense to get out of this cold weather!

Another fun technique, Foil Vellum Resist is easy and fun!  Brayer Craft Ink onto Foil Vellum.  The foil design will resist the ink.  Wipe off ink with a tissue.

Here is our first card, it would make a lovely Wedding Card I think:

And last our Fancy Fold Card, it is called a Double Fold Card, I just fell in love with the card and the colors.  The card fashioned after a card I seen from my upline, Kelly Acheson, I just changed it and used the tag punch.  The first part of the card, you open by the ribbon and then you open it again.  The colors are so pretty in person!

And there you have it, do you notice how nice the cards look now?  I found instructions on line on how to make a light box, talked my wonderful husband into making one for me and Ta-Dah!  I can take way better pictures of my cards then I use to.

 

Thanks for stopping by, next month's technique will be Quilt Squares, we will make some pretty backgrounds that will having you do a double take!

 

As always, take care,
