PaperArtsy Challenge: Foiling (again)

Still with the current theme on PaperArtsy of Foiling, I've made another Christmas card.

Using my other new JOFY stamp set JOFY68, and the background JOFY65 I made a card inspired by Jo herself in the release of her new Christmas stamp sets here.

I embossed the snowflakes background stamp from JOFY65, then coloured with Distress inks (Broken China and Iced Spruce).

I foiled the Snow from JoFY 68 with silver leaf.

Finally I used some silver thread and a Sizzix thinlit mini snowflake.

PaperArtsy Challenge : Foiling

The current challenge at PaperArtsy is Foiling.

So off I went to hunt down my foil and sticky embossing powder. It has been a loooong time since I did any of that! I didn't have any foil, but had some leaf (I hope it still counts!)

I was inspired by my new JOFY65 stamp set, and the card Jo made in the post when the stamps were announced.

So the stamp set is JOY65, and the words are by IndigoBlu.
I stamped the image, then used a Tsukineko Emboss Pen where I wanted the leaf, and used Ranger Sticky emboss powder over the emboss pen. Then I stuck the leaf onto the (still hot) embossing powder.
The rest of the image is coloured with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.
I touch of Red Stickles on the berries for a bit of extra bling, and finally I used Distress Pumice Stone to soften the edges and make it look "smokey".
