Welcome back! Middle of the week already. Today I bring you 2 cards using the same stamp set. I used the set Colorful Day I hadn't used this one yet and was eager to ink it up. In the same purchase, I got some Deco foil transfer gel and Deco Foil transfer sheets in Rainbow Shattered Glass that I also hadn't used. So this was actually my first time using it!
For this first card, I foiled the background first. I learned after this first ever try, that the gel dries very fast so that's why I got this distressed look. Although I was a little bummed at first, after looking it for a minute, I liked the look. I colored the brush with Copics and used Glossy Accents for the hearts on the brush. At first, I wasn't going to use any other embellishment on the card but then... a little somebody, who shall remain unnamed, ate ice cream near my card and a drop fell on it. So to cover it, I used the rhinestones. Happy accident!
A closer look... I really loooove how the foil looks on the brush!
For the second card, I decided the make the background using the paint splatter stamp in the set and then foiled it. Again, not perfect but I like it. I cut a frame with a paper trimmer out of golden cardstock. The brush again was colored with Copics. This one has Glossy Accents on the metal part of the brush. It's hard to capture in pictures, but the colors look so vibrant in person.
I'll keep up practicing foiling. I really liked this technique. Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance to win Unity Stamp Co stamps. See you tomorrow!

Oh. I like them, specially the foil effect and the coloring in the brushes. Awesome cards. Thanks for sharing.
For it not being done intentionally...the foiling looks awesome. Gonna try to replicate that look. But which Transfer sheets did you use? Both of the links in your blog go to the Transfer Gel. I am so new to foiling that it can still sometimes be overwhelming...! Thank you for sharing these.

Hi: Thanks for pointing the link issue out. Fixed it! It is the Deco Foil Shattered Rainbow found at Unity's site. I love it!
That is cute
I love your cards. The colors are beautiful. I have had the same problem with foiling but have been able to save them. Thank you for sharing.
Great cards, I have had no luck with foiling - yours looks really good
I love what you did with this set. The foil on the brush is awesome.
Such fun cards!! I love the foiling, too; but I've yet to try it!
I hadn't really looked at anything with this set, your cards are very cute, great results!
So fun and colorful. Love the foiling and framing.
Both cards are great! I really love the color in the brush on the first one!
These cards are amazing! I especially love the foil one. I thought it was intentional, brilliant!
Like the way you utilize a stamp set. The foil "swoosh" of paint is my favorite!
Wow,I've never used foil but seeing your cards,I would love to do it. Lovely cards. Happy day!
That foiling is amazing! Adds so much to it! Love so much!
Your first time foiling is fabulous--great cards!
WOW, the foil paint looks amazing. I LOVE the look---a room painted in that "paint" would look cool.
Both cards look amazing!
