Foiled!


The Challenge over at Daring Cardmakers this week is....

'Foiled!' -I would like you to utilise some plain old aluminium (aluminum for our friends across the pond!) foil from your kitchen :). You can scrunch it, die cut it, emboss it, ink it, coil it, cover chipboard - or anything else that you choose!

Fae asked me to make Eloise a birthday card for her. So when it comes to making 3 cards for the same person I find it difficult to come up with ideas. After trawling many websites for inspiration, I came across this website (craft telly). In the forums they were chatting about the Arty Farty templates. One member had devised her own template of the celebrations bottle and was offering it to anyone who mailed her, so I did and was sent her template via email (thank you Andrea).

I made the card with the help of the template and used free papers from Raspberry Road Designs, Kaylabugs Collection (thanks Susan). The foil was used to make the cover for the cork (no idea what its called). I embellished with a peel off butterfly which I stuck to vellum, coloured in with Sakura Stardust pens and then covered with another butterfly peel off which I stuck to acetate.
