My friend and I played with foil when doing the altered boxes. Since we had great difficulty with Ranger foil tearing we headed to the grocery to purchase heavy duty aluminum foil. I applied alcohol ink then crumpled it. It was adhered to light weight cardstock. I lightly rubbed some black paint over it for some depth, then applied Inka Gold in silver over the top bumps for more shine. The cattails were cut with impression obsession dies. The tips of the cattails were cut from wood veneer and adhered to the foil die cuts. The dragon fly was cut twice, once one from black and once from blue foil. I pieced the wings on the black die cut. Using scraps of green, I cut a mat from white and added 1/2" strips to the sides of the mat, saving the green prepared foil for other projects. Thanks for a great challenge and thanks for stopping by.

Your foil looks like the light glinting on the water in the beaver pond at the cottage. The dragon flies flit over it continuously. This is an absolutely breathtaking card! Love those die cuts and the presence you have given them with your materials. Beautiful!

Your foil looks fabulous, Nancy! I've never used it, yet. Your cattails and dragon fly are so pretty, and I like those little added dots here and there; subtle, yet they show well! Beautiful cas style creation~
