PTI Stamp-A-Faire 2017, 10th Anniversary (Tin/Aluminum)

8/30/17
10th Anniversary (Tin/Aluminum) with Laurie Schmidlin
Supplies: PTI Noted: Scalloped A2 Vertical Die, Warmest
Wishes (sentiment), Cuttlebug embossing folder, heavy
duty tinfoil, StazOn (Claret, Emerald City, Ganache),
Distress Ink (black soot, chipped sapphire, dusty concord),
Distress Oxide (faded jeans), white acrylic paint.

Laurie has an intriguing technique for this FINAL challenge
(yay, made it to the 10th)! I could not find any tin sheets at my
local craft store. I used quadrupled heavy duty aluminum foil, being skeptical that Laurie's technique would work on this. 
I was surprised that the foil worked just fine in my embossing folder! The only problem with tinfoil is that it is in layers and tends to separate since the layers are not adhered together. This makes the embellishment a bit fragile to handle. It sure
does come out pretty though...I'll have to look for the sheets
at other craft stores.  It has been a fun 6 days tho I need a
week off after working on the challenges (and I did not get to
all of them).   >.<   Thanks for stopping by!
