PTI Day 7 Foils and Neutrals

I'm just beginning to use

foils on my cards after seeing

Jennifer McGuire use some the

other day. I love how it looks so

I was glad to see today's challenge

from PTI which you can find HERE.

*EDITED*
And here is my card that actually 
fits the neutral challenge!

I used foil tape for the strips, silver embossed

the banner from Sketched Shapes and then

used StazOn to stamp the sentiment from

Bigger Blooms. Lots of sequins to finish it off.*

I used the foil but missed the part

about using a neutral so after posting

this, I am going back to the drawing 

board to make a card that actually fits

the challenge--haha! Unless blue is 

considered a neutral!

Here you can see the shine of 

the foil and the embossing.

I put VersaMark Ink

gently onto this PTI birthday coverplate die.

I ran it through my Big Shot using a silicone

embossing pad, added Platinum EP from

Ranger and was pleased with the results.

I also added VersaMark around the edges

of the image and dipped it into more EP

before layering it onto the card front.

When its all said and done, I have

a card for my SIL whose bday is 

coming up in week or so. 

Mix-Ability #41 No Paper Allowed!

Edit:
This card was mentioned
as a Weekly Favorite over
at Splitcoaststampers!!!
Thank you so much!!

What?! A challenge that

says we can't use paper?!

Check it out at SCS HERE.

The only paper allowed is the

card base so I used watercolor

paper to make my card and then

put Golden Molding Paste

through my TCW snowflake stencil.

After it dried, I patted VersaMark ink

onto the snowflakes and heat embossed

them with white ZING! ep.

Next I added Chipped Sapphire,

Evergreen Bough, and Iced Spruce DIs

with my blending tool and then misted it

with Perfect Pearls. Once that was dry I added

the clear jewels to the middle of the

snowflakes and tied the twine.

 I dabbed Bottle and Denim alcohol inks

onto some foil  tape and used a Spellbinders

 snowflake die to cut the snowflake.

I stamped the Unity sentiment onto

foil tape with StazOn and cut it into the banner.

I scored two lines along the left side of

the banner to give it more of a finished look.

So much bling it was really

difficult to get a good picture of the card!
