This week I decided to make a hanging 'thing' for the colours of lilac, light maroon and orange.
A technique I learnt at the Hugbinders day [scroll down for pics] rolling up kitchen foil, the good sort, not cheapy as it tears.
So, to get the the effect,crunch the foil, and unfold. place an item, albeit a cuttlebugged scroll or anything that can show through. Stick onto mountboard, or as I didn't have any, a piece of card. Spread all over with glue and place the foil on top.
rub your item with your finger, but my finger wasn't good enough, so, I used my metal craft roller.
Go around the edge of the scroll [or whatever you use] with a ball tool. Again, I used my metal work tool, but, you can use an old ball point pen, to make it stand out.
Paint twice with paint of your choice, PDCC was the maroon. I managed to avoid my scroll and use lilac. Make sure you get paint into all the crevices. I use a sponge.
Finally, to conform with PDCC colours, I sprayed with lilac and orange Glimmer Mists. Take my word for it orange IS there !!

I see the orange! ;) This is a great fun and unique piece for the Play Date Cafe challenge this week. That foil technique turned out really neat!
I love your description, 'hanging thing', it made me smile! What an unusual piece for our challenge, I always stick to my comfort zone of cards, but your foil technique is great! Thank you for playing along with us at the Play Date Cafe this week!
