Hello again! Now that work has FINALLY slowed to a crawl (yippee) I can be in my craft room even more....makes for a very happy marriage! ;)
I am entering this card in to the following Challenges:
MFT Sketch
MFT Color
Simon Says Wednesday, Gearing Up For Christmas
CAS-ual Chic, CCC05 Precious Metals
Here is my card:
That's NOT gold embossing powder! I was walking through a craft store, A.C. Moore, when a Minc just fell off the shelf and into my basket.....looked at the price tag and when I saw it was 1/2 off, only $39.99, I let it stay! Truth!
The sled stamp looks like this, I don't want you to think my Minc and foiling did not work. :)
I used the MFT stamp set, Inspired By Christmas, I just love that antique sled, and even more so in gold foil! The image is cut on a Spellbinders Labels 7 die, or as I call it 'the book one'. Sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black ink. It's hard to capture all of that shimmer and shine of the gold foil, but it looks (and feels) SPECTACULAR in real life!
Added some gold ribbon, a couple of gold 'sleigh bells' and a few adhesive rhinestones.
In all of my research about the Minc I found that you do not need to purchase anything extra, other than the foil. You don't need a Toner Pen, or Toner Powder, or even all of the cute die cuts with toner paper that all the craft stores sell. I used clear embossing powder, heated that, placed my sheet of foil over it and ran it through the Minc.....perfect, it came out perfect! I saw that everyone was using WOW extra fine clear embossing powder, I had the Michael's Recollections Brand and it still worked. Pretty cool!
One week til Thanksgiving, I hope you get to share it with all of the ones you love!
Enjoy~~
