Fun with Foiling

We all got inky fingers on our Monday night crafty get together this week as we got our Imagination Crafts goodies out to play!

 I heat embossed an Imagination Crafts stamp in gold then used Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks, along with an Imagination Crafts mask and a Clarity dusting brush to create a background.  I used my finger to apply some Welsh Gold Sparkle Medium to the seed heads to add a highlight and a bit of texture.
For the bottom layer, I used the same inks, mask and brush, but I did a bit of foiling with Welsh Gold Sparkle Medium over the inked background.
Three orange gems finish my card.
