SF18 MM Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all?
We are!
Look in to that shiny surface and see your smiling face. Do you have mirror cardstock, foil cardstock, heat activated foils (Minc, Gina K, etc) or pressure sensitive (Deco) foils? Let's use them and add some reflective shine to our projects. If you don't have any foil/mirror products then how about aluminum foil?
Challenge :
1. Use mirror card stock, foil card stock, heat or pressure sensitive foils (Minc, Gina K, iCraft Deco Foil), Gilding Flakes, or even aluminum foil to add a reflective shine to your project. You don't have to stamp on it, but you should use a stamp on your project somewhere, even if it's a sentiment stamp on the inside, that's ok, just mention your stamping in the forum post.
2. Tell us how you used foil or mirror cardstock. Technique? What kind of adhesive? What tools did you use? If you stamped on it, which ink?
3. While you're at it, decorate your envelope. It can be simple. Nice if you can coordinate with your card somehow. Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner have been using the same stencil or background stamp on their envelopes to match their cards lately. That might be harder with foils, not sure how they fare through the mail, but any little stamp or ink on the envelope is acceptable.
4. Add your photo to the
Summerfest 2018 Gallery with
SF18 MM in the title and as a Key Word and post your experience here in the forum.
5. I know some people like to see how many challenges they can combine. Combining is allowed. You may also combine with Djc's Winter Holidays in July challenge.
Thanks for playing,
shiny, happy people!
