Recipe:
- Tape down aluminum foil to cardstock. I used a gold cardstock. I like how if the edges get frayed you still get a metallic look coming through. (Or if you want to distress it you would get a contrasting metallic look) Hint: My edges keep coming up. I should have taped all the way to the edge.
- Emboss using the cuttlebug embossing folder with the foil face up.
- Put 3 drips of the Alcohol Ink (stream) on the felt on the applicator. Add 3 drips of alcohol blending solution. Dab this on the embossed foil all over.
- Replace the felt piece on your applicator. Drip 3 drops of the lettuce color and 3 drops of alcohol blending solution on the felt. Dab this all over the embossed foil.
- I edged the card with my Silver Krylon Paint Pen.

I love your card. It is indeed beautiful. I use vellum under my foils so they hold their shape, but your idea is really wonderful too! What great colors.
