hot foil – Sharon Curtis

Another stunning collection from Spellbinders. So many beautiful elements to this collection.

I’ve used 3 different sets from the collection – the Four Petal Floral embossing folder, the Thank You Floral die set, and the Making Me Smile Glimmer Foil plate.

For my first card, I kept it very simple. The embossing folder is so stunning I didn’t want to cover it at all. So I just highlighted it with some gold wax, and added a sentiment (from the Thank You Floral die set). It’s a big embossing folder (this card is 5×7), so you can easily just use parts of it if you like.

For my next card, I decided to use the florals from the Thank You floral set, then add just a strip from the embossing folder (and I kept it white so it didn’t distract from the flowers). I also used one of the foiled sentiments. I used some of the Spellbinders foil in a lovely pewter colour.

For my final card, I used the foliage from the Four Petal Thank you Floral, but I didn’t quite use it as intended – it’s intended that you’d place the flowers on the little round areas, but I thought they also looked like berries, so I went for a very simple look. Again I used the embossing folder in the background in white for a subtle look, and one of the foiled sentiments (this time in gold). This is a smaller 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card so illustrates how you can use a part of the embossing folder.
