Happy Wednesday everyone! Considering I thought Monday was Tuesday, I’m grateful the week is finally moving along. Today I’m on the Pink & Main blog sharing this gorgeous tropical vibe card using Foilables with some ink blending for a stunning background.
To start things off, I heated up my Minc machine and foiled one of the Cloudy Day Foilables with Waterfall CheerFoil. I am over the moon for the effect this foil gives! It’s incredible! After foiling I pulled out distress oxide inks – lemonade, carved pumpkin and abandoned coral – and blended a sunset sky. I spritzed it with water and blotted that off with a paper towel. Then, I used a clean microfiber cloth to buff the ink off the foiling. This really does make a huge difference in the vibrancy of your foiling when ink blending.
Next, I stamped an image from Aloha Flowers and colored it with copic markers. Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also chose a sentiment from that set to heat emboss and die cut. I added foam to the back of each and popped them up on my foiled background.
I ran out of black cardstock so I blended the edges of my card base with black soot distress oxide ink and then popped the whole panel up with foam tape on that.
For finishing touches I just added Touch of Gloss to all of the flower centers. I like that little bit of shine to go with the beautiful foiling.
