Upcycled & Fancified

I glammed up my recently purchased Big Shot Switch over the weekend.  The gold foliage really helps break up all that salmon pink (I assure you the salmon is more intense in real life).  Much happier with the overall look now. 

I decided to experiment with the diecuts resulting from the gold foil having a backing paper.  I just popped on a pair of gloves and went to town applying alcohol ink from fingertips to paper.  

The backing is very slick and wanted to bead up which I took in stride. It certainly dried quickly enough and I could have completely covered the foliage with more alcohol ink had I wished to wait but who has time for that?!  LOL.

I popped the foliage on a hot-foiled honeycomb coverplate and added a diecut sentiment.  Swoon!
