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  Something New  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: FUN WITH FOIL

I really admire all the gorgeous cards people are making with foiling, they look so professional. But I guess I am a bit more flaky when it comes to foil, and love adding in metallic flakes. I even found some foil washi tape to work into my art journal page. 

BE YOURSELF 

 

I started by scraping some paint onto my page. You may see hints of pink in there, and that's because when I have leftover paint, I like to put it on a page for future use. I also helps if you are intimidated by that blank page and struggle to start...I have days like that too.

 With a bit of glue scattered randomly, I added metallic flakes. 

Looking for a bit more texture, i stamped in this lovely design in Whale ink - very subtle. 

I grabbed a bit of paper I had added metallic flakes to from my stash and stamped my focal image. 

Next up, bits of paper and this lovely Lawn Fawn foil washi tape. 

I needed more, so dug into my stash and pulled out a flower I had made with book paper, and the words be yourself...a little play on the cute bee. 

Details... 

BE YOURSELF 

and enjoy whatever you create, even when you find it's a bit wonky. I noticed once I was done that I was a bit off kilter. It reminded me of my teaching days and how I could never write horizontally on the board.
