This is for today's MIX317 challenge Tin Ceilings. I used the Impressions of Tarnished Foil technique
I used Scotch 3M foil tape. I cut 3 strips and adherred them to a 4 x 5 piece of light chipboard. I rub Stazon Jet Black ink lightly overtop and let dry. Next I stamped on the grasses from "Inspired by Nature" set. Stamped with versamark ink and used gold embossing powder, heat to set. I ran the panel through the bigshot using the Bird Call embossing folder. I heat embossed some gold and silver in different areas of the panel. Let it cool and then ran the Stazon jet black ink pad overtop of the image panel to bring out the raised sections. For the bird - it is part of the embossing folder. I coloured the bird with a versamark pen and then used black embossing powder - heat embossed the bird. I used gold and silver embossing powder around the edge of the panel. I stamped the sentiment on a left over piece of the foil panel. Cut it out and embossed the edges with gold. Used mini brads to attach to panel. Matted image with black and silver.
I will be giving this card to my dear husband for his birthday.
Thanks for the awesome challenge.
Hugs... Pat

Stunning card!!!! Thanks for explaining how you achieved this metallic work of art.....I never would have thought to heat emboss stamped images on top of dry embossed image, also never would have thought to use the metal tape..basically I see you as a creative genius because I never would have thought to create this amazing card!
