Everything but the Kitchen Sink: Foil

I'm back with more Mehndi Medalions, this time to play along with EBTKS's foil challange. Ooh, boy. This WAS a challenge for me. At first, I thought I'd make some cute flowers out of foil baking cups...but after making 3 different ones and having them either be way to big for a card or way too crumpled, I decided to move on to embossing. The problem there? I only have the really thin foil...so it was hard to emboss and cut without tearing. I ALMOST took a trip to Costco just for this challenge to get their super-thick and ultra-deluxe tin foil. But, in the end, I got the thin foil to do my bidding and was able to come up with a pretty cute embossed foil block. This was fun, but I'll probably not be working with foil again. ha!
