Foiled again! - my second experiment in foiling

Every month I receive a gorgeous bunch of flowers through the post - I have a year's subscription to Bloom and Wild. The flowers come beautifully packaged and tied together with ribbon. I always undo the ribbon very carefully and add it to my bulging "useful stuff" bag.

This month's ribbon was a gorgeous coppery brown colour that was an excellent match for a coppery brown foil that came in my Design Team goodies from Foil Play so I thought it was an excellent opportunity to have another play with my foils.

I stamped the bare branched tree (I'm sorry, this is an old unmounted stamp and I don't remember the manufacturer but several brands make similar ones) then made tiny dots and squiggles over the image with a Tonertex pen, allowed it to dry and applied a matte gold foil.  Then I added more dots and squiggles and foiled with metallic copper. Finally I added just a few highlights with metallic gold foil.

I mounted it onto a pearlescent brown card, and attached it to a panel on the front of a larger card, finishing the panel with my recycled (or should that be upcycled, I can never tell the difference?) ribbon and a few pieces of candi.
