Foiling with Stencils

I like the look of foil on cards, and using a stencil is a great way to add foil.  Here are some Christmas cards made with a stencil:

A close-up look at each card:

To make these cards, I used the following:

• Heidi Swapp Minc Foil Red and Green
• Gina K - Let it Snow Stamp Set
• Memento Brilliance - Platinum Planet Ink
• Deco Foil Transfer Gel
• Tim Holtz - Holiday Script Stencil

To make the card, I first stamped snowflakes (from the Gina K Let it Snow Stamp Set) with Platinum Planet ink, all over the card stock.  I then placed the stencil over the stamped snowflakes, and added the Transfer Gel.  The stencil was removed, and once the gel was dry, the image foiled with either the Red or Green foil.  The entire image was cut down and added to the card base to complete the card.
