Hello again friends. Can you believe that another two weeks have whisked by and it's time for another challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More?
This time it's Make Your Mark, so we would like to see some colouring with your medium of choice. I went with Copic markers and had a play with my foiling machine for this card that winged its way to one of my friends.
I foiled the Spellbinders Glimmer Sweet Blooms Border plate with gold foil onto white card and you can see the lovely shine on the foil in this first picture. I then coloured with Copics and fussy cut the shape out to create a border for my card.
I cut the pink card with a pierced square die and embossed it with an old Cuttlebug embossing folder. The flower border was raised on foam and the happy birthday die finished it off.
We're currently having our house re-roofed and ever since they put the scaffolding up last week, it hasn't stopped raining! We foolishly thought the end of May would be good weather for the job lol. On Friday, the heavy winds blew back the tarpaulin they put over the area they had stripped and it was a very strange experience seeing the rain pour down the INSIDE of the bedroom window!! Fingers crossed that the weather clears up so they can work this week.
I'd like to play along at
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs

We are neighbors in the gallery at Make My Monday, so I wanted to drop by and say Hi Neighbor. Your creation is why I love foiling but I never get it quite right. Yours is an absolute delight.
Really stunning Carol and I hope your roof is now finished we've had terrible weather for weeks hugs Sue x
The foiled look is so beautiful and I love the coloring. How does one foil with a stamp? Is there a special ink you use?
Fabulous card! Thanks for joining Crafting Happiness Challenges this week.

That's beautiful Carol, the foiling looks so expensive and coloured perfectly. We have had the first dry day for weeks, hope you have had the same xx
Gorgeous card Carol. Love the pretty blooms border and the gold foil. TFS
Beautiful ! Love how this kind of foiling looks : very crispy and so neat. So many tools, hard to buy everything but I must admit that this king of machine makes so gorgeous projects. Your colouring is amazing too and this strip of flowers lays beautifully over the pink embossed panel. We also have lots of rain here too, can't wait to see a bit of sun and a bit of heat (heating is still on !). Have a great weekend xx.

Your foiling looks stunning. I can see that one day I am going to find myself investing in a hot foiling system, the results are stunning. Love your soft colours too xx

Oh you've coloured those flowers to perfection! What a gorgeous card! Sorry to hear about your rain/roof problems... It's been an awful month, non stop rain and even though they promised a great bank holiday we still had rain yesterday and no sunshine today either! Fingers crossed everything gets sorted for you soon.
This is absolutely gorgeous! What an elegant, eye-catching gem of a foiled design.
