Got inky for today's Mix-Ability Challenge. I just happened to look at a pin this morning that inspired this and the idea fit into today's challenge. Meant to be, right? So the idea behind the pin was that you take a sheet of craft foam and cut it into a shape (in this instance, a cross), and then you wrap the foam in foil and indent a design into surface of the foil. I took my cross stamp from Refuge and Strength, stamped it onto the craft foam for the outline (to cut out) and the used the branch in that same set to press in the indentations on the foil. I then lightly spread white pigment ink all over it and brushed colored pigment inks into the leaves of the the branch indentations. You can still catch a lot of tin foil highlights peaking around the pigment inks. I love this! Thanks so much for the fun challenge today, Lydie! <3
So what do ya think?

Love the flowers on the sentiment panel.
Interesting sounding technique - I have loads of foam . I've heated it and stamped into it, but this sounds like a wonderful way of adding texture.

And I was wondering just today how foam would work rather than cs or chipboard - TFS! Great card!
