Here is a series of cards I made last night. I printed four black floral backgrounds and applied foil to two of them, in Pink and Lavender. I also printed some strips of polkadots, which I am sharing, below. I used my Black Cat Cougar to cut some daisies and circle and oval elements. I adhered the layers of the daisies together before running them through my embosser to give them some texture. Finally I added some rhinestones that were hanging around in my stash. Here are the results:
The black polkadots on the accent strip were foiled using a fabulous black foil material that is shiny rather than metallic. In real life, it looks a lot like patent leather.
For this card, I left the background unfoiled, and used foiled the reverse of the above polka dot element.
For this card, I used a pretty lavender foil for the background. I'll add the sentiment later, when I send the card.
Amd finally:
I love red black and white together. For this one, I folded the unfoiled background element over the top of the card.
Here are the two polka dot files that I used. If you don't have a foiler, you could print them in a color to match your card. They are in SVG format.
