LAYERED FOIL TAPE

 It's been a while since we last used foil tape as a technique, 2017, and the first time was way back in 2009. The tape I use is the non-reinforced aluminium foil tape that is used in the aircon industry. I like the 72mm-wide one as it will cover an atc completely, although the 50mm size is more readily available, and you can just overlap a small piece on one side, and it will blend in with your background anyway. For this technique, I have attached various chipboard shapes beneath the foil tape directly to the cardstock base, which gives extra dimension. Don't forget to click on the pictures to give
a more detailed view of them. Computer/phone screens are not the best at capturing detail.

STENCIL RESIST

 Die-cut machines are useful for more than just cutting die shapes or using embossing folders; they also work great with stencils. You just need to get the correct sandwich layers to make an impression on your card as you run it through your machine, and your stencil needs to be no wider than your machine opening. This technique utilises stencils and pre-inked cards to create a resist technique that makes wonderful backgrounds for images or other die-cuts. I used Bristol smooth cardstock for the base of these and Distress Inks to add the colour, not Oxide inks; the Distress Inks worked better.

I love the colours in this, and it turned out better than I thought it would.
