This is my card for today's Ways To Use It Challenge - to use foil for our project.
For my foil element, I used a panel of Metallic Gold Shimmer Sheetz which I ran through the Cuttlebug with the Textiles EF. After embossing, I rubbed the raised areas with Jet Black Stazon to give an aged look to the foil. I stamped my image with Jet Black Stazon onto Brushed Gold CS. Matted everything with Very Vanilla which was sponged around the edges with Black Soot DI. Added ribbons and gold cord and black brads to finish it.
Welcome back, Julia, and thanks for the fun challenge and TFL!
