Today I'm sharing three Christmas cards with you, as these are the sum total results of my attempts at foiling. The rest of them are peacefully at rest in the trash! I really like the results of these and will definitely keep trying to learn this new technique. Don't worry - you'll see more of this style.
The first one is a stenciled background using an Oxide Ink background, a "MERRY" vertical die and a Reindeer hot glimmer die with silver foiling.
The second card is the Spellbinders Happy Holidays Glimmer Hot Foiling Die and an Ornament die cut.
The third card is the Spellbinders Holiday Cheer Glimmer Hot Foil Die and the Reindeer Hot foil Die with additional red plaid paper and Christmas washi tape.
Like all of our crafting projects, there is a learning curve and sometimes it takes a while to master the details. Foiling cards and sentiments turn out so beautiful. I know I will enjoy the results a lot more when it's not such a struggle to get the desired results.
Thank you for stopping by today. I
enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to “Follow” my blog and to visit
