Hi everyone, sharing one more simple way to foil that I shared at my Zoom group meeting on Apr. 14th. This time I used a piece of double-sided adhesive sheet on foam and then burnished my foil over top. Adding the foam to the foil gives it added dimension. I die-cut this sweet leafy sprig (AliExpess). It not only cut out beautifully, but it also has the embossing on the leaves. I used the Gold Shattered Glass Decofoil again and you can see how the reflection gives you lots of different colours. So pretty!!
I used a piece of alcohol ink'd Yupo in the background that I had in my stash. Not positive of the colours but believe they are my favourite combo of Wild Plum, Sunet Orange, and Sunshine Yellow (Ranger). Die-cut a frame from white card stock (Spellbinders - retired) and popped the frame over top of my card front, adding the gold foiled leave inside the window aperture. Stamped a Simple Sentiment (Lawn Fawn) and heat embossed in Princess gold embossing powder.

Jessie had some pampering from Alex ... Mani/Pedi.
Even though she doesn't like having her nails clipped,
she adores Alex and took the opportunity to steal a kiss. :)

Blogger has notified blog owners of a change to their service. They will no longer be providing the Feedburner email subscription service. This means for all of you that receive my new posts via email, that subscription will no longer be working as of July.
In the meantime, I will be downloading your email addresses and forwarding them to a new subscription service. Right now, I'm not sure which service that will be but will have that settled shortly. Hopefully there won't be any disruption of subscribers receiving my updates.
Thanks for visiting!

This is really stunning, Loll. The AI background is so beautiful and the leaves just shine. Shattered glass is awesome. Those are adorable pictures of Jessie. You can tell she adores Alex by that sweet kiss.
ReplyDeleteOh my, but this is STUNNING Loll, and so are your 2 cards from the other day! Your Yupo background is so bright and bold and the gold leaf just really pops off of it! Love that you can see the impressions in the leaves too. I have quite a bit of foil that I've never really used, but after seeing this post and your previous one, I can see that I need to get it out and have a play! Thanks for the inspiration!! Hope all is well. Hugs. P.S. Jessie is still ADORABLE!! :0)
ReplyDeleteDid you hear my out loud "Wow"?!? Gorgeous alcohol ink background for your beautiful and shiny popped up gold foil die cut image, Lolly. TFS the sweet photos of Alex and Jessie. Love the one of Jessie giving Alex a sweet kiss:-)
ReplyDeleteI will be looking forward to seeing, which service you use so I can transfer my followers who use the blogger subscription service. TFS the info. Love and Hugs..Nancy P.S. you are all about sharing today, my friend. Thank you!!!
This is stunning Loll and by just using the adhesive sheet over foam and then addding the gold foil and burnishing it, I am surprised that it has stuck so well and that you managed to die cut the leaves from it too. The AI background is a beauty too in those beautiful bright colours. Two lovely photos of Alex and little Jessie, and being so good having her nails trimmed, obviously Alex has a special place in her heart. x
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous Loll! Love the foiling and your background really caught my eye. That rich red is sometimes so hard to get! I do hope to get an email notice for your posts too. Fun photos of Alex and Jessie.
ReplyDeleteWow what a stunning card Loll. The alcohol ink background is fabulous and those foiled dimensional leaves look amazing x. Loved the photos of Alex and Jessie and lucky Alex to get a kiss from the adorable Jessie x.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on the feedburner email Loll x.
WOW! The high contrast makes the card memorable. I love the intense background, golden leaves and white frame. Amazing card, Loll.
ReplyDeleteAlex and Jessie you can see that they are very friends :-)
I also got a notification that in July I stopped sending posts to subscribers. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to copy my subscribers' mailing list and I'm afraid I won't be able to do that. Aj :-(
Hugs,

WOWZERS...the leaves look like high-end jewelry against that inky background. Like something you'd open on Christmas from someone you love. The card is gorgeous and so is that adorable cocker. Maybe Alex could drop by and give me a much needed pedi.
ReplyDeleteWow, stunning techniques and card. Amazing colours.
ReplyDeleteAnd such lovely photos.
A really beautiful card, Loll. I'll have to try that foil technique. As for your puppy, adorable and looking so well behaved. Keep posting pictures, please.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all the detail on these golden leaves, Lolly! They are gorgeous against the rich colors of this background! Awesome card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour foiled leaves are just fabulous and teamed with that lovely bright Yupo background..a beautiful card Loll, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteBrilliant use of foil on sticky, Loll, thank you. Love it.

Adorable photos of Jessie having her pedi - Alex is so good with her!
ReplyDeleteLove your card - beautiful colours in the AI background and a gorgeous foil leaf. I have that gold shattered foil on my SSS wishlist because of you!
Glad to hear there are other subscription services for our email subscriptions to blogs. Hopefully lots of bloggers will join one so that we can continue getting email notifications.
Loving your foiling Lolly! The dimension from the foam is terrific (reminder to self - get some foam!).
ReplyDeleteAnd once again a gorgeous AI background- all adds up to a wonderful card. xx
Loll, this is absolutely stunning! LOve all the glimmer of color and shine - and there it is on your background, too! You have such talent, my friend!
ReplyDelete=]
Love the design, the foil leaves with the alcohol background look awesome Loll!
ReplyDeleteYour golden leaves look gorgeous against that beautiful AI background Loll - what a lovely technique with the foil. How nice to have someone else to do Jessie's nails - my cat, Scout, gets so upset every time I have to do hers! I hadn't heard about the subscription thingy... oh well....
ReplyDeleteOh, this is perfect. What could be nicer than alcohol ink and foiling, love it. that is very generous of you to go to the trouble of finding a new way to send e-mails. I had decided that I must just keep a better eye on my reading list xx
ReplyDeleteWow, the shattered glass foil looks even more amazing with the leaves and your awesome AI background! Such depth with the two of them together! I adore the pic of Jessie having her nails done. She's a good girl! I'm sad about the Feedburner thing, especially because I have no time to fool around with this stuff right now. I'll take a deep breath and it will all come out okay in the end.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful foiling Loll, the shattered glass is amazing and love the effect on foam.
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder about feedburner. I need to download mine, I may be back for some help :)
Beautiful! It really is beautiful, the colors, the shine - oh my!
ReplyDeleteAs for blogger, I'd be happy to hear what you find. I have little time to devote to the research but also need a "fix" so please keep us posted as you can. So far, I haven't even figured out the download e-mails part!
Wow, that card is beautiful and the colours with the gold are sensational! Sweet moment of a stolen kiss! TFS! Hope all goes well with the email switch...'love' you too much to lose YOU! ☺
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning and impactful card, Loll! The shine and colors of the shattered glass foil are amazing! I love that the foiled leaves show the details. The passionate colors of the AI background are perfect for the gold leaf.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jessie looks so cute in the arms of Alex. She looks like a princess!

Beautiful card, Loll. That AI background are so your colours. The foil looks gorgeous with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd awesome photo of Jessie getting her manicure!
I've never tried foiling yet, but can I just say WOW to this gorgeous card!?! The little stem looks just stunning on that alcohol inked background of rich colors! I just love the CAS look and gold-embossed sentiment! It's perfection! As for the nail trimming, Jessie looks perfectly at ease! My dachshund used to run and hide under the bed as soon as my husband opened the drawer where we kept her nail clippers! LOL Your dog even gives kisses - how sweet!!
ReplyDeleteBold, shimmery and fabulous, Loll ... those background colours are positively regal! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Loll! LOVE the rich colours of the AI... Jessie is so sweet! As for blogger... I give up trying to adapt... I will still just use my list as always
ReplyDeletegorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou sweet little pup...awh so cute.
