Foiling

Foiling is not something I've been into but I have foil as any good crafter should! This is a birthday card today for a wonderful blogging friend that I've been lucky enough to meet. I used transfer gel through a stencil. It needs to dry, then I used the foil over it and sent it through my mini minc machine. What fun that is. I bought the mini minc back in the day and haven't used it but once or twice. I need to remedy that.

What do you call dental x-rays?  Tooth pics.






Be kind to one another.

Good job there Brenda. I like foiling and have found there are so many ways to foil. I have just a plain old laminator and it does a great job. Love all the different color foils, wish I could buy them all. Simon Hurly, Nancy Stamps, and a few others always give great tudors.

Hee, hee! Now back to the card. Your stenciling with the transfer gel is so crisp and perfect and that foil is GORGEOUS!

Brenda said...

Oh Brenda, what a pretty card! I love your foiling! Did you foil then emboss? Whatever you did, it is so cool looking! I always wanted the mini minc, but never got one. Yes, you need to pull it out and use it more! Hugs, Brenda
