Swallows & Silver

This color challenge was the inspiration for my card. These colors scream doing something wintery, or with a Hannukah theme but I decided to go in a different direction. My card will be great for any time of year, and blues are among my favorite colors so this combo is right up my alley.

I broke out some products from another vendor for the greeting on my card. I purchased a foiling machine last year and haven’t played with it very much at all. Recently I acquired some pre-printed greetings that are meant to be foiled and I broke out one of those to give it all a try. You’ll notice that I have two cards in my photo, the only difference is the look of the greeting. There is a cool product for the foiling system that is solid foiling medium so you can use the negative from an image that was foiled. In this case I started with the silver foiled greeting, and then did the second so that the background around the greeting is silver and the greeting is white. It is super-cool!
