When I got my Crafter’s Companion Gemini Foil Press Machine I pulled out a lot of different background dies and experimenting with foiling them. For the most part they worked great. I had this polka dot pattern on pink laying on my desktop when I was doing some Copic Maintenance and cleaning the caps and filling the barrels. I accidently got a streak of green ink in the lower left of the pink panel. At first I threw it away, but then I got thinking that maybe I could cover it up with a focal image. I decided to use Altenew’s Cake Love.
I stamped the layers of the cake and then added details with Copic Markers. I decided to use the small flowers and leaves from Spellbinders Glimmer Foliage Border and Christmas Organic Foliage. I colored them with Copic Markers as well.
I adhered the layers of the cake together with liquid glue and then fussy cut the image out. I added Simon Says Stamp Big Mama Foam Tape behind the image for a little dimension and placed it over the green streak on the pink cardstock. The flower and leaves were adhered with foam tape as well.
The sentiment is from Spellbinders Glimmer More Sentiments. I used the pink Copic Markers I had used on the cake to create my own ombre cardstock and hot foiled the sentiment. I was adhered over the cake stand with foam tape.
Simon Says Stamp Big Mama Foam Tape is low loft, which means you can add multiple layers of foam and it will still mail well. I added foam tape behind the pink focal image panel and adhered it to a top folding cardbase and the card was done.
