Sunflower Hello

Hello Friend! I hope you're having a great day! I'm loving the change of seasons here - the nights are getting cold and leaves are changing colors. I recently had some surgery on my hands, stitches come out on Monday so please forgive any typos you might see.

Have you discovered the Foilable panels at Pink & Main? They are toner printed images on a glossy paper. You can use a Minc machine or laminator to add the Cheerfoil color/pattern of your choice. I've never had a sheet that didn't transfer completely. It's like magic and the effect is gorgeous.

The downside for me is that most shiny things are very difficult to photograph so it's hard to show you the glossy images. For my card today I used the Sunflowers Foilable panel. It's printed with black toner that I covered with Midnight Black Cheerfoil. I left the panel completely "naked" aka uncolored to show the detail and drama of the design without any distraction.

The pretty background papers are from the Bugs & Berries paper pack, and the simple sentiment is from the Fun Sentiment Banners. A bit of twine, a button and a sprinkle of glitter enamel dots add more color and detail to the design.

I'm playing along at the As You Like It Challenge where this time it's Ribbon or Twine and Why.  My vote is twine and mostly because it's the perfect size for a card - not too much of a distraction and also because it makes my cards more "mailable".  Don't get me wrong ... I do love ribbon, but for cards I'll always reach for twine first.
