Brayer roller (your hand will work to!)
if you have these supplies you can make
this:
Pull a piece or foil off the roll- heavy
duty
Fold it in half - open
Squirt some craft paint on it-you can use your inkers or pigment
pads if
you like! (just "dab"the pads onto the foil.) I have
even done this with
my old "tri-chem" paints!
Fold it in half again pressing together (with hand or brayer
roller)
allowing the paint to mix into each other. -open
Lay a blank card in the painted foil.
Fold the foil over the card

Stamping on Foil
From: Sharon H.
Using heavy-duty foil and a spray adhesive,
make 3 layers of foil; smooth them out so they have no wrinkles.
Use any color ink to stamp your image; dry well; then with a
stylus mark over every detail making sure the bottom layer is
in relief. Cut around the stamped image. Your design is now reversed.
Glue the inked side to a card and continue to embellish as desired.
I did this with the Rubber
Riot's "GRANDMOTHER'S TEAPOT"
stamp and it is featured in the August 2000 issue of Stamping
Arts & Crafts magazine, page 38, with two other card samples
using the same stamp. Have fun!
Stamping on Foil
From: "Kinga Britschgi"
Stamp your image with permanent
ink on a piece of aluminum foil. Choose a relatively bold stamp,
not too many small details. Then color it with permanent markers.
Cut it out or just tear it out (very carefully not to
crumple the image on the foil) and layer it on a cs. It has a
bit of a stained glass effect; very unique.
ALUMINUM FOIL/STAMPING
IDEAS - 5/6/00
From: Barbie Boop
Stamp an image onto a piece
of aluminum foil-(I use heavy duty foil)
Lay the stamped foil image onto a mouse pad
Using your embossing tool, trace the lines of the stamped image.
Turn image over and you will see your debossed image!
Use this debossed image on/in a card!-Great for “window
cards!”
(I have heard of people using the foil
from yogurt containers, I have used cheap aluminum foil but folded
it over and debossed through a couple layers. It does not hold
up as good but can be used esp. to practice on!)
If you are going to mail your debossed
foil card make sure you cover it with bubble wrap to save the
image from being flattened in the mail.
