While foiling those mini butterflies at Marcia's house, I had a thought...
what would happen if I foiled the negative? You Glimmer-foiling-girls know what I mean ... seemed like such a lot of pretty to throw away!
Guess what? it turned out pretty cool! Okay not for use as a cover panel,
but check out what I did manage ...
What you get when using the solid plate is the outline of the butterflies - to those
you can add any color of the rainbow! My rainbow just happens to be the colors from the Pinkfresh Studio March 2022 Challenge!
I used their Hexagon Label Frames to cut them out and there were just enough
to fill a Mini Slimline panel nicely.
Here's a little big closeup of that gorgeous Spellbinders Prism foil:
They better fly now ... hope you have a great day today!

ReplyDeleteI love how your mind works! This is stunning!

ReplyDeleteSuch a clever and stunning way to use the negative foil. Did you use colored cardstock or color it yourself. I predict this is a winner.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I thought I was doing so well resisting all that foiling beauty and you show me this. what am I to do? It is just beautiful and so lovely to use up that gorgeous foil xx
ReplyDeleteGenius. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh…..foiled again…..said in my best Snidely Whiplash voice…I may have to check out this foiling thing because this card is amazingly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuper cool card Michele!
ReplyDeleteYou made a gorgeous card, using a negative foil piece, Michele. Good for you! You never waste anything! The amazing thing is that the card doesn't look like it's made of "left-over" pieces. Your creativity is the magic seasoning. (<-- I was thinking that you must be good at making delicious meals using left-overs.) Wonderful balance of the hexagon layout too!

Using the foiled negatives is always an unexpected treat--beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou have now graduated to a full fledged Glimmer-foiling-girl. You did an awesome job with these hexagons, and a fabulous job catching the affect of that wonderful Prism foil. It's sold out all over the place, but it is in the cart! Just beautiful art, my friend.
