Beauty in Gold Layout with Rinea Double Sided Foiled Paper

Hello Ladies,
I usually think that metallic papers are best left for Christmas crafting but I went out of my comfort zone and used beautiful gold foil prominently on a scrapbook layout. Using a BW photo and minimizing the numbers of colors really allowed the gold to take center stage.  I adore how it came out.  Let me show you how I created this elegant layout, as well as, share a few tips along the way.

Join me over on the Rinea Blog HERE for a step by step tutorial.

The paints accentuate all the crevices and is a very effective way to create an aged look so it is very versatile for any vintage & distressed project.

Embossed Rinea Paper Foil Card Backgrounds

I just love embossed papers and I use them all the time in my crafting. The subtle textures add wonderful layers. I couldn't wait to try Rinea Paper Foil because I knew it would be just beautiful when embossed. Once I started embossing, I couldn't stop and now I have a nice selection of embossed foils ready to go. Make sure you look for my post later this month when I share a scrapbook layout featuring elegant gold embossed foil.  Here are the girlie cards I made with Rinea's Blush Foil.







Once I started embossing, I couldn't stop and now I have a nice selection of embossed foils ready to go.  Make sure you look for my post next week when I share a scrapbook layout featuring elegant gold embossed foil.

Card 1: Fabulous Flourish & Fairy Birthday Card

Directions:
1. Place a piece of foil into the embossing folder and send it through the die cutter.
2. Embellish the background with mini gems. Use a permanent white marker to highlight parts of the pattern. Stamp a border onto transparency and attach it over the embossed foil.
3. Attach the embossed foil to the card base and cut off any excess overhanging foil.
4. Stamp a central focus image. Color, fussy cut, and mount with foam tape.  Add a sentiment.

TIP: Apply glitter glue in the recessed areas to add contrast within the embossed pattern.

Card 2: Fabulous Fashion Birthday Card
