Tried something a little different

 On one of our shopping trips I came across a bit of antique pressed tin and thought wouldn't bits of this look nice on a card!  That element would not have worked, much to heavy and not card embellishment material.  I thought TH probably makes thing similar.  So I checked that out on another stop.  Sure enough there was similar products in the TH line.  I didn't like the price tag. And found myself saying the family mantra "I can make that!"

 That's what this post is all about!

I pulled some reynold's wrap foil out of the kitchen and folded it with the dull sided up. to fit in an embossing folder,
I did add a small amount of glue in the folds, this was a good idea and If I ever do it again I will use more.

Ran it through my embossing machine

I added a bit of turquoise in, a Memento Luxe color - It's a multi surface ink

To Intensify the ink color  I added clear heat embossing - it's okay, I think paper actually looks better at this point.

As I am getting ready to mount it on a piece of card stock I notice two of the layers are separating. If I ever do this again I will use less layers and make sure there is glue in between all of them . For this experiment I just pulled them apart and went for another color.

I like the brown and then add a bit of black

the two final 5x7 pieces:

this seemed like a lot of work and If I decide I really like having metal on my cards, I think I will re shop the TH line!

Here is the card I made with my experiment:

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!
