This technique went over HUGE with the team at the last meeting. Everyone wanted to know how it was done and when I told them, they were floored at how easy it was! Their reactions told me I had to share it with you, friends.
Here it is, the Sanded Foil Technique:
- Place a piece of foil in your favorite embossing folder and run it through a die-cut and embossing machine.
- Place the foil on your desk/table.
- Use fine grit sandpaper or a nail filing block (I found mine at the dollar store) to gently rub it across the foil paper.
- The raised parts of the foil from the embossing will make contact with the sandpaper/filing block and the color will be removed.
That simple removal of color creates this gorgeous metallic variegated effect. And it takes just seconds with a $1 item! The above card uses Noble Peacock foil, Noble Peacock Rhinestones, the Timeless Tropical Bundle, Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, and Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I also used Soft Sea Foam and Lovely Lipstick cardstock.
This card uses Black Foil with the Painted Poppies bundle and Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings. Use a Chalk Marker to add small dots to the poppy centers - it makes them stand out from the background.
In my Tuesday Happy Half Hour Facebook Live class, I demonstrated this technique. It's the first card in the video and I jump into at 1:00. Click the picture to watch that video.
