I went the metal foil tape route today as I needed a masculine Valentine. I cut some chipboard hearts and applied these and some sequins and drywall tape to a scrap piece of cardstock for the border panel. I then applied several pieces of the foil tape on top and burnished as I went. I scribbled in some areas with the stylus and outlined the hearts as well. Black paint was dabbed on over that and some of it was wiped away. The rest is pretty self explanatory. TFL!

DH is just home from work and sitting beside me as we drink coffee. He says this is pretty spectacular, so I would say it's certainly fit for purpose!! And I agree with him, it looks fantastic.

Polly, I love your metal foil tape creation. The border of hearts is awesome. Wow! I like your other hearts, also.

I so love putting foil tape on my cards and this is so wonderfully done! It is such a super fun element and cost so much less than many of our other craft supplies. Shhh don't tell the hardware stores we are using them for cards...the cost will sky rocket. Giggles!!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
