Foil papers are very impressive, especially when embossed!! This is the Brushed Metallic Cardstock #153524 embossed with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder #153576! It's a WOW!
Liquid glue shows thru the foil and can leave a ridge on the front side of the foil. I prefer a strong dry adhesive like Tear & Tape #138995 when using foil papers. When using Tear & Tape, apply it and then rub firmly before peeling off the backing. This strong adhesive is a must for using Foil papers, building 3D projects and cards with motion.
This is a simple card with BIG IMPACT because of the Brushed Metallic finish!! Try it!!
TRY IT!!!
Super simple, yet striking Christmas Card idea!
The Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder #153576 is very detailed! Just add the returning favorite Merry Moose Bundle #153015 and you have a very striking holiday card! Check the inside...

Queen Anne's Lace is a wildflower, and now a lovely stamp set, too! This stamp set took my eye!
Queen Anne's Lace Stamp Set #152607 is a two-step design, but easy and quick to line up.
When adding color to the flower, I "stamped off" to get a soft look.
Wink of Stella #141897 adds glitter to the flowers.
Photopolymer stamp images are totally CLEAR and make this 3-step To a Wild Rose Stamp #149452 very sophisticated! Three-step images stack to create magnificent shading!!
The flower colors are Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove and Terracotta Tile. The bottom flower is full strength inks. The other two flowers were second generation or stamped off, so the intensity is less.
This is a fancy fold called a double "Z" fold: Base card is 11 x 4-1/4", scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2". The layer is 8-1/4 x 3", scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2".

The Timeless Tropical Bundle #153811 is fun and summery! This is a great friendship or Birthday card!
