I love the look of foil! The foil-mates designs from Gina K. are beautiful. I decided to get coordinating foil, paper and ink, along with some foil-mates, and just play. The paper is wonderful and I will be definitely be ordering more! I made 2 cards, and several backgrounds, which I will use on future cards. The only problem with foil, is that its just so difficult to photograph!
Here are the cards I made:
To make the cards, I used the following:
- Gina K - Wild Lilac Paper, Foil
- Gina K - Sweet Mango Paper Foil and Ink
- Gina K - Foil-mates Elegant Damask, Birthday Essentials
- Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Squares
Making the cards was very easy! I cut the Elegant Damask paper in half, Each side was foiled. I cut the sentiments with the Simon Says Stamp Stitctched dies. These were then foiled. The background and the sentiment were then matted with black paper. For the Sweet Mango card, I used the matching ink and colored a white ribbon. The ribbon was added to the background and then added to the card base. For the Wild Lilac card, I just used white ribbon, which was added to the background and then added to the card base. For both cards the sentiments were added with pop dots to provide a bit of dimension to the card.
