Inspiration Post:"Altered Foil Tag"!!

Hey Everyone!! It's Elina here with another inspiration post for the Feeling Sketchy blog.

For this post, I decided to use Ranger Foil Tape sheets to create a tag.

I recently purchased a set of these Foil Tape sheets from Michael's and couldn't wait to use them.

I watched a tutorial on YouTube on how to emboss and add color to these sheets using alcohol inks.

So I decided to give it a try.

I was pleased with how easy it was to add color and emboss it.

You could also stamp and paint these sheets as well , so the possibilities are endless.

Here is a list of the supplies I used and a step by step photo representation of the process:

• Ranger Foil Tape Sheets- 6 x 12"
• Manila Tag- 2 1/4 x 5 1/4"
• Adirondack Alcohol Inks- Any color of your choosing (I used Wild Plum and Butterscotch for this tag)
• Cuttlebug and Embossing Folder
• Heidi Swapp Chipboard Elements- Butterflies
• 7 Gypsies Pyramid Studs
• Stamper's Anonymous, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Ransom Alpha Parts

To start off, I traced the manila tag onto the foil sheet with a stylus and cut it out.

I used a hole punch to punch out the hole on the top.

And then, I moved on to the embossing and coloring.

This is the tag after I embossed and colored it.

I love the deep impression you get with these Foil Sheets and it takes color well.

I dabbed on my alcohol inks and was able to build up the color to make it more vibrant.

Once I had the coloring finished, I used my heat tool to set it, removed the paper backing to expose the adhesive and attached it to the manila tag.

To embellish the tag, I added a few butterflies, the sentiment "Life, Love", some pyramid studs and pearls.

And ta-da tag complete!!

I hope you enjoyed this project and got inspired!!

Enjoy your day!! :)
