It's Jo's turn to set the DCM dare this week and she's dared us to raid the kitchen drawer for aluminium foil and include it on our cards. Here's mine...
I have no idea why but foil feels quite 'retro' to me so I went for a sort of groovy '70s thing here! I scrunched up the foil and then flattened it without trying to smooth out the scrunchiness, if you see what I mean. Then I stuck it to chipboard and scribbled over with a few shades of blue and green alcohol marker. I cut freehand wibbly edges and added three watery dewdrops.
The stamps all came in a batch of second-hand UMs I got on eBay and the seller provided no maker info so I'm afraid I have no idea what they are. Fun for this though! If anyone recognises them, I'd love to know!
Supplies: kitchen foil, chipboard, Tria and Copic pens, dewdrops (Water), Clearsnap chalk ink (Azurite, Ice Jade, Aquamarine), UM stamps (unknown maker).
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed the card!
