Enamelled Foil Panels

Hi, Everyone,

It’s Technique Tuesday!

Today I would like to show you the “Enamelled Foil Panel” technique to create a manly card featuring a vintage photo in an Enamelled Foil Panel. The Foil Panels can be created using Ranger Foil Tape Sheets and Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers which are sold at Treasured Memories.

Let’s begin.

Peel the backing off the Foil Tape Sheet and attach it to a piece of black cardstock

 (creating a Foil Panel).

Emboss the Foil Panel through a Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing Folder

 to create this beautiful design.

Next, we paint the embossed Foil Panel with a Copper Paint Dabber, let dry, and cool.

Then

, we sand away most of the paint from the raised embossed areas and the edges

 using a Tim Holtz Idea-ology sanding block, exposing the foil for ink.

Next,

ink over the entire Foil Panel with Walnut Distress Ink using an ink blending tool.

 Heat set with a heat tool.

Now to get the "Enamelled" part of our Foil Panel,

we pat Embossing Ink over the inked foil then sprinkle

Clear Embossing Powder

 & melt the embossing powder with a heat tool. Allow the foil to cool.

This is what the card looks like all put together!

Stop by and check out the Ranger Foil Tape Sheets, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Sanding Block, and Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers the next time you are at the store.

Have fun creating!
