[@carolestrawn8755]

Wow! This technique is addictive. I've already made three cards tonight using this technique. It looks so impressive but is in fact easy and quick to do using different embossing folders and metallic embossing powders. I had a lot of silver metallic paper so haven't tried it using aluminum foil yet. Thank you so much for posting. I've had a lot of fun with this.

[@MelissasCraftingTreehouse]

I'm so glad you are having fun with it! I love knowing that and so appreciate you commenting and sharing. I'd love to see what you created. I have a Pinterest Board just for the technique. If you'd like to add your creations to this board let me know and I can add you as a collaborator.

[@carolestrawn8755]

I can't seem to get a good photo of the projects. The silver paper just looks white. I made a birthday card using an embossing folder with gears on it. Embossed it with copper and gold and antiqued it with the black. Glued a few metal gear embellishments to the card and embossed the sentiment on black with copper. Birthday card for my son. I did a flower design very similar to yours and then one in just silver and gold with evergreen branches that I'm going to make into a Christmas card.

[@MelissasCraftingTreehouse]

It is kind of tough to get a good photo of these because of the reflective nature of the foil. I have just played with it a bunch, moving my light this way and that to try to get the best look. The descriptions of what you've done sound wonderful! I wanna see!

[@MelissasCraftingTreehouse]
