Metallic Background

The challenge this week on StampTV MIUM is to use metal on our card. There is also a challenge on the StampTv Kit Addicts page - use Emboss Resist. This is a card I made for the two challenges.

I decided to use aluminium foil for the background. I used an embossing folder to make the pattern and attached it to a white card base.

For the emboss resist, I used a piece of white cardstock, stamped the flowers and leaves with VersaMark ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. Using a sponge dauber, I applied ink over the whole panel. The embossed areas resist the ink and stay white. I stamped the sentiment, attached the panel to the background and added a bow with a Glue Dot.
