This card is for Sabrina's Metal Faux Tape Challenge and also for the Alpha Challenge F = Faux anything.
I had such fun creating this and love the texture and effect. Initially I thought I would have to use aluminium foil but when I was searching through my speciality papers I came across a pack of Tim Holtz foil paper. Not sure when I purchased it but I'm glad I did.
I decided to emboss the paper first using one of TH's grunge EFs. Added the drywall tape and die cut the sentiment out of the foil stacking it up using a few die cuts.
Instead of using acrylic paints as per the tutorial, I ran with some Dylusions paints and shimmer sprays and also swiped some of my various black inks across the foil. Several coloured waxes were then rubbed onto the card to give it a grunge/metallic look.
I shall definitely try this technique again. In fact I had such fun that I started another one still in progress.
