I've had this mirrored paper for a while and wanted to use it. I love the sheen and shine but wasn't sure how to make it work. I brought out my alcohol inks and thought I'd try creating a textured background and then embossed in VersaMark to emboss twice, once in blue and then re-inked in Versamark and embossed in copper. I was surprised by the result; it looks quite pretty. I'm always in need of 'neutral' make ahead cards for those unexpected occasions when you need a card but don't have time - this will work for thank you, congratulations or even a birthday card. I'm sure the same technique would work with any foil paper. This is very intense - to soften the look, I thought I might also try to cut out a strip of this panel (either a circle or a long rectangle) and use just a piece of it over a white base and have room for a sentiment. Of course, there are all kinds of different possible variations. TFL
