Hello friends! I'm sharing this card I made with two of Spellbinders Club Kits. I've used August's 3D Embossing Folder (Underwater Waltz) and the Betterpress Press Plate (Fish Parade).
For the background, first I put white cardstock in the Underwater Waltz 3D embossing folder and ran it through my Platinum die cutting machine. I turned the embossed panel to the back (with the de-bossed side up). Then I inked direct to paper with three shades of teal ink (listed below). This left the de-bossed areas white! So fun! I glued the panel to a piece of coordinating colored cardstock and then to an A2 card base.
I decided to try foiling the Fish Parade press plate instead of using it with my BetterPress letterpress. I turned on my Glimmer Hot Foil System to heat up. When it was ready I placed the press plate face up onto the Glimmer platform. I added a piece of Silver Holographic Speckle glimmer foil on top of the plate. Then I put a piece of Glimmer Specialty Clear Film Sheets over both. This is a heat resistant acetate that foils beautifully!
After I added the spacer shims and ran it through my Platinum, I removed the foil and used my scissors to trim around the image.
I added foam tape to the back of the foiled acetate, hiding the pieces of foam behind some of the fishes.
The sentiment is from the Fish Parade set and pressed with my LetterPress in a teal ink. After I cut it out with the coordinating die, I added foam tape to adhere it to the card.
The iridescent sparkle is so pretty! I hope you've been inspired by my card today. Have a fabulous and crafty weekend!!
