Hi there! Mona Pendleton here to share how to create beautifully textured foil tape die cut flower embellishments using the following products: foil tape, embossing folder and alcohol inks.

To create the pretty textured flowers shown on my project below, I used the following products: foil tape, grunge paper, embossing folder, alcohol ink, floral die and a button.

To begin I adhered the foil tape to a piece of grunge paper then die cut.

I added texture by dry embossing each layer of the flower.

To add color and depth, I dabbed on alcohol inks allowing each color to dry prior to adding the next.

Allow ink to dry, adhere layers together then adhere button to center.

Once I had the flower embellishment made, I decided I wanted more so I repeated the steps mentioned above and created a few more flowers to embellish my wall hanging with.

To tone down the shine of the metallic foil flowers, I dabbed on white acrylic paint.

I love the texture and dimension that is created simply by using an embossing folder and a few alcohol inks. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and hope I’ve inspired you to create.
