First time doing this and was different---looks better IRL with the patina colors. Used a black card base, stamping versa mark on edges--done in white. Die cut the white, using su ink sponged it and did dots. Glued down the tin foil---folded twice, glue together, then cut out, used versa mark and eb powder, heat few times then used alchol inks on them. TFL

Using the black base was a great idea - it really sets off the metallic look. The flower has a great vintage look to it and the little butterflies are so sweet. I'm interested that you added the inks after embossing, that must give them a more matt look which I'll have to try out!

I bet it looks amazing IRL, your flower does look vintagey, like it could be a pin! I am intrigued with your use of alcohol inks after the embossing, I inked mine before. I will try that next time.

Okay, I may just have to get out my "stuff" and take a shot at adding the inks on top of the embossing, because it intrigues me, too, and curiosity will keep me awake! I love the look you achieved - your colors are gorgeous!
