    Watch this video and learn to create the look of "antique" brick using foil paper.

    Ed Smith demonstrates a line of metallic paper that can add pizazz to plain scrapbook projects. Here, Smith creates an antiqued brick look and gold foil "roof".

    Materials:

    Red Ultra (TM) Foil
    Gold Ultra (TM) Foil
    White spray paint
    Soft, absorbent cloth
    Fiskars (TM) crimper
    Adhesive
    Cardstock
    Stylus
    Black marker

    1. First, "fan" fold the red foil. Then, fold strip into small sections.

    2. Unfold the foil to reveal creases.

    3. Spray paint over creased surface. Use soft cloth to rub paint into creases and remove excess.

    4. Use crimper to add texture to gold foil (figure A).

    5. Adhere crimped gold foil to cardstock to strengthen form.

    6. Use stylus to draw texture lines on foil (to look like shingles). Add additional details with black marker (figure B)

    7. Add elements to the page to create a house.
