Fun With Foil

 


 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  ADD SOME TEXTURE  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: FUN WITH FOIL

I had to think outside the box on this challenge, since I don't do much with foil. I just love these rabbits from Stamperia, and they were fun to match up with my embossed foil.  


I saved the foil covers from some of my eye med containers to use for this challenge - a bit of up cycling. 


I decided to color them with alcohol inks, and used warmer colors on one... 



...thus getting a pinkish background. 



I used cooler colors on the other foil... 



...thus getting more of a blue background. 



I embossed my colored foils with Simon's Criss Cross Floral embossing folder. Then, I laid out some ephemera from Stamperia, trying to determine my layout.  I decided to wrap the foil around a piece of cardboard for a more finished look.  



I stenciled around the edges of the cards... 



ADVENTURE AWAITS 

Love this steampunk hare and his yen for gardening...

Details of the embossed foil... 


A cluster of ephemera and a flower... 


HAPPY HEARTS

These two hares gaze lovingly into each other's eyes...


Details... 


I like how the pink of her dress foes with the pinkish background of the foil. I added some pink pearls for an extra touch.  


Who knew hares and foil played so well together? And why do I keep thinking of Peter Rabbit?
