Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It seems impossible to get a good photo of all this shine.
I used my favorite 3D embossing folder for the leaves. For the 7 1/4" Monarch
sized card, I used the embossing folder twice. Where they meet was a good place
to put the sentiment strip. The sentiment is from a very old Hero Arts set and
probably not available any more.
After embossing, I lightly sanded the raised portions with a sanding block.
I love how this technique highlights the raised veining in the leaves.
The sentiment is heat embossed with gold. It's a super shiny card!

Bonnie your embossed foil makes for a stunning card and that sentiment is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us over at TicTacToe this week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! There's just no other words, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 3D dry embossed foiled leaves background for your slimline card design, Bonnie. Love your added die cut foiled butterfly and sentiment too. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow, such a rich decor for this heartfelt quote. This is so very special, my mouth is hanging :O
ReplyDeleteThat folder is absolutely gorgeous in green foil, Bonnie. The foil butterfly is lovely as it points to that wonderful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't get over these 3D embossing folders. This is amazing and gorgeous, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThe color scheme is perfect, Bonnie, I love the green embossed background and that brick butterfly. Mirrored cardboard boxes are really beautiful, when embossed they create a different world. The mistake of cutting through a leafy background and using that space to place the sentiment is brilliant
