Aluminium foil greeting card - experiment time!

Another idea hit me today. Why can't we have Aluminium foil greeting cards? Back at high school I used to wrap my textbooks with wrapping paper or cellophane. Now the technique is useful again! 

1) Trim the Aluminium foil so it's slightly larger than the size of the card base. 
2) Wrap the foil around the card. Press firmly along the edge of the card so the foil stays.


3) Use embossing tool and some stencils, add the patterns you want! As an experiment I tried some hearts, bubbles and smiley. Be gentle with Aluminium foil though. 


It's a different kind of beauty when you have only one element in a card. What a wonderful discovery!
