Thinking of you: Foiling and stencils

Good morning!  Today I have used a few techniques on my card.  I partially stenciled the background using a sponge dauber and distress ink.  I also used a border mask and shimmer spray.  I used my Minc and supplies to foil the butterflies and flower.

On this card I partially stenciled the harlequin pattern on a little more than half the card.  I then used the border mask and shimmer spray ink.  You can see the pretty shimmer from this view.

Ingredients:

Tim Holtz harlequin stencil

Distress ink Antique linen and sponge dauber

Tattered Angels fleur de lis mask

Perfect Pearls pink shimmer spray

Recollections ribbon

Minc foiled pink flowers and butterflies

Quick Quotes Biscotti

Close to my heart Sincere Expressions

Stampendous Moonstone pearl embossing powder

Color box Honey ink

Sizzix die

Minc foiled snowflake background for Camp Create Foil Challenge

Here I am again at Camp Create.  I watched all the videos last week, but I had a jam packed weekend with no time to craft.  I had ideas rolling in my head, so I whipped up a couple of cards last night.  This round I am trying to go in order of the badges, we will see if I follow through.  I have the guide below if you want to participate.  But there are only a couple of days left.  

That means today's card is foiling! I pulled out my Minc for some foiling fun!  I used a Anna Griffin background that came as part of the HSN auto ship.  I wasn't in too much of a red and green mood, so I went with the wintery purples and silver and a sentiment to match.

I used some of the final scraps of my K & Co Recycled Purples paper pad.  It has been a great small stack!  I think this triple loop bow with the fuzzy fiber really finished off the look.

Ingredients:

Anna Giffin Minc tool and accessories

Colorbok metallic card stock

K & Co recycled purples

Great Impressions sentiment stamp 

Versamark ink

Ranger Superfine Silver embossing powder

misc fiber and card stock

Craft Dee Bowz tool

Quick Quotes Plum Crazy

Our Daily Bread Designs stitched rectangle
