Less is More Challenge -  Recipe METAL


When I saw today's challenge at Less is More, I wasn't sure what I was going to do!

I then thought about running some metal foil through my Big Shot using an embossing folder. So far so good.






It needed a bit more metal so I stamped and punched out three butterflies. By threading two beads on to some fine wire and twisting together I made their antennae.







I used the matching punch, for my embossing folder, to make a banner for my sentiment. This was finished off with a stamped and punched flower. More beads were added to the flower as stamens.

  2. What an amazing background you made with the embossed foil Jackie! It's like some ornate vintage piece - stunning! And the wire for the butterflies' antennae too - it looks very fiddly but worth it! Vicky x
