Foil Play DT challenge: a glittered medallion card by Little Jan

Little Jan of the CraftTelly forum has produced this gorgeous, intricate, glittered medallion card for the Foil Play Design Team challenge.

The card was made by folding A4 gold pearl card and cutting out an aperture, the corners were then embossed and stitched and gems added. Jan used a medallion stamp to stamp out and decoupage two medallions, and glued them back to back. She then glittered both sides and hung the finished medallion in the aperture. The background of the card is decorated with snowflake peel offs

Thank you, Jan for this beautiful project!

Foil Play DT challenge: foiled and glittered projects by Caramel Bunny

CaramelBunny of the CraftTelly forum has produced this delightfully delicious selection of foiled and glittered projects for the Foil Play Design Team Challenge.

Elephant card (pictured above) - CaramelBunny highlighted some of the detailing on the elephant decoupage with the Quickie Glue Pen then foiled with old gold foil. The swirly bits are adhesive rub-ons with the same gold foil applied over them.

Dragonfly box (pictured above and below) - This is a peel off sticker stuck on to a double sided sticky sheet & then mounted on acetate. The wings were then foiled using a sheet from the pearl foil kit and the body foiled with turquoise foil. The eyes are bronze glitter dabbed on with a brush. The whole lot was then mounted on a box (made by CaramelBunny) with silicone glue, so that it stands up on its bent legs a bit.
Dragon bag (pictured above) - This is a stamped & embossed image which Caramel Bunny then filled in using the Quickie Glue Pen and copper, cinnamon and bronze glitter. It took a lot of brushing over after applying each glitter to make sure the original embossing still came out!
Butterfly card (pictured below) - these are peel off stickers coloured with permanent markers then stuck to a double sided adhesive sheet & mounted onto vellum. The wings are then foiled with three different foils from the pearl foiling kit. The bodies are the bronze glitter again, applied with a brush.
Thank you, CaramelBunny for these beautiful projects!
