I designed this card for the VSN Challenge "Going for the Gold, Silver, or Bronze". The challenge was to use a faux metal technique to create a "medal" and you must use ribbon on your card.
Most faux metal techniques requires embossing powder, I do not have any of the metallic powders, so I used aluminum foil and my Big Shot with the Embosslits Flower Burst die. I think it turned out pretty cool!

Oooh! I will have to try this technique with the aluminum foil! Thanks for the inspiration!
I never tire of the Baroque Motifs set. It is so elegant and appropriate for so many occasions. Your black ribbon is the perfect way to offset that super-cool metal embossing, too.
