I have been using cheap tin foil on cardstock before, embossing it for texture and adding alcohol ink for color. I wanted to use this technique in my art journal too but since I can't put the whole journal in an embossing folder I had to do something else to get the texture.
For this page I punched a bunch of butterflies from cardstock and glued them on my page. Then I covered the whole page with an adhesive sheet from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and carefully layered the tin foil on top. I rubbed the tin foil gently with a cloth to make the butterflies under neath pop up.
I added alcohol ink, Stazon ink, stamps and rubons and used punchanella to create texture. I finished the page with a couple of butterflies punched from book paper and the quote.
If you have created something with tin foil, I would love to see. Please leave a comment with link so I can have a look!
Thank you for stopping by today!
dat ziet er weer erg mooi uit. Eens kijken of we ook nog wat Alufolie in huis hebben :-).

Mooi effect geeft dat, die alcoholinkt op alufolie! Ik gebruikte het alleen ooit op een clearsheet, maar nog nooit op folie. Goed idee!

Ha, ha... Well, I did... In my art journal and then I ruined it all and teared the page out (which I hardly ever do). I also adhered some tinfoil pieces to beercoasters. One of these turned out very pretty, so that technique (I took it to the 'second floor') will make an appearance in one of the projects I'm working on!
