Magenta Super Saturday - Adding Shine with Foil

Welcome back to Super Saturday.  You can also see today’s post on the Magenta blog here. 

This week I combined the beautiful, new Floral Trio stencil with foil to create a quick and easy birthday card.  I love the shine that foil adds to a card. 

I taped the stencil to a piece of textured white cardstock and applied Deco Foil transfer gel through the stencil.  (The textured cardstock gave a little bit more definition to the flower when the foil was applied.)  I removed the stencil and set it aside to dry.  Be sure to wash your stencil with warm water right away. 

I placed the piece of cardstock on a piece of wax paper to use as a carrier sheet in the laminator.  I cut pieces of teal foil and placed them over the flowers, then cut pieces of gold foil and placed them over the strips between the flowers. 

I ran the piece through the laminating machine, being careful not to move the foil.  I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark and embossed with gold embossing powder.

To finish I adhered the piece to a piece of gold cardstock and then to an A2 card and added a few embellishments.

The Floral Trio is just one of the beautiful stencils in the newest Magenta collection and I hope you will try this new technique.
