As promised, here are a few GlueFoil Rose examples.
All of the flowers in the example were created using the GlueFoil Rose Technique I shared yesterday. There is one small exception on the Mom tag...for the small flower I used one small flower die-cut. I cut two petals off, embossed, formed the main flower and used the 2 cut-off petals for the center.
Several people e-mailed asking about Streuter Technologies GlueFoil. It is a colored metal foil craft sheet with a heat activated glue on the back. It comes in a wide variety of metallic and colors. It can be die-cut, paper punched, dry embossed and so much more! It's lots of fun to play with and can be used in a multitude of ways. Here are a few more ideas on how to create with Streuter's GlueFoil and GlueFilm.
On to the examples....
MOM GlueFoil Rose Tag...
This was created using my Distressed Glue Technique (both the tag & torso). All stamps are Just For Fun.
Smaller Rose...
Life Canvas...
In addition to the GlueFoil roses I also incorporated several other colors of GlueFoil into this design. The border along the left hand size was all cut with border punches and deco scissors. The letters "LIFE" were covered in blue GlueFoil and also frames the photo. The background was created by adhering the vintage sheet music to the canvas using clear GlueFilm and was then white washed.
Notice the amazing dimension you can achieve with the GlueFoil. It really adds so much depth and interest to the finished collage. I wish you could see it in person to get a feel for how cool these flowers really are.
So there you go...

ReplyDeleteThey really come to life when used like this , lovely, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe metallic blue is my favorite... but it SURE was hard to decide!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to have the aluminum or the copper or the stainless steel then I would use my alcohol inks to color it all kinds of ways.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between copper and red, but I'll go for red.
ReplyDeleteGosh these look amazing Roni! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi, I definately love the copper x I just love new ideas like this x Leigh x
ReplyDeleteI need the stainless steel to work with my alcohol ink addiction.
ReplyDeleteI think I could find lots of uses for the copper!
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Red is my favorite color so I'll go with red.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Roni!
ReplyDeleteI like them all but if I had to pick I would choose the copper.
How can I pick a color when all are so pretty. Red, no blue, no green, oh shoot I guess I'll go with red.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I am influenced by the gorgeous roses on your post, but I am loving the metallic red!
ReplyDeletewow! that is amazing ... you are amazing! I would of said copper, but now that I see your flower ... it has to be red!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

I had a hard time deciding, but I think the aluminum would be cool for a vintage look, so I'm going with that.
ReplyDeleteI really like the blue, with the red a close second..these are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI bet the colours are even better in person -- my favorite would be the copper.
