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!
