Father's day with foil.

Hello!

I have made some simple Father’s Day cards for you today,

using Craftangles foil, Craftangles stamps and stencils.

To start, I used the Craftangles simply squares stencil with Tim Holtz ‘dusty concord’ distress ink, to create a background.

I then cut apart the sentiment from the

as shown below, so that I could stamp it using two colours.

Using two colours emphasises the word FATHER to make it stand out.

I then foiled a rectangular die cut panel using

Craftangles ‘turquoise’ foil so that the sentiment panel would pop!

To foil this panel, I used a sheet of black laser printer paper

which I ran through a a laminator along with the foil.

I then added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and added some sequins to finish the card.

For the second card, I used Tim Holtz Dusty Concord, Broken China and Black Soot distress inks to create a blended background.

I then stamped with my small versamark ink pad over the background and clear embossed it to create a rough background.

Once embossed, I used Craftangles silver foil to foil the background. Every place that was clear embossed picked up the foil.

I did the same for the sentiment too.

I placed the panel on a blue Craftangles card base and

finished the card by adding some black jute twine.

For the third card, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the

with silver embossing powder.

I then die cut a heart from the sheet black laser printed card stock and used the

I thought this sentiment needed minimum embellishment so I left this card as it was.

I rounded off the corners and added some clear bubble stones to finish.

I hope you will give foiling a try.
