It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up!
This month I'm hosting and we're doing....
When I was at the ESCR retreat last May, we had a play with foiling and laminators.
This is a piece I did then and it's so nice to get it on a card!
We used some special glue on a stamp, stamped it onto our cardstock, laid a
piece of foil on top and put it through the laminator. I used a holographic foil
and I love how the foil changes when the light hits it.
I've die cut the image, stamped and heat embossed a sentiment on vellum and
placed it popped up with foam on a dry embossed background.
There are several video links for foiling at the challenge site and not all of them
require a laminator which is good since I don't have one.
Our wonderful Design Team is joined by the very talented, Michele this month
.
I hope you'll add some foil to a project and share it with us at CAS Mix Up.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

LOVE how the light shines with the holographic foil, Bonnie. Those flowers just sparkle! Great coverage, which is not as easy with a stamped image. Your flowers are perfect and love the vellum banner. xx
ReplyDeleteHaving seen many of the foiled card on this challenge I'm amazed that everyone got such perfect coverage. You did a fabulous job on this Bonnie! Love it and hoping in my future for one success story.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bonnie, now I have to pull out my laminator. I haven't used it since the retreat :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful result from your foiled image Bonnie - love it.

wow...how gorgeous Bonnie. I haven't had much success to date with foiling but maybe I will be encouraged to re-visit it.

SUBLIME, I agree with you on the use of Holographic Foil. Such a fine choice. You've definitely mastered this technique and what a beautiful design too. Like the sentiment I LOVE this card xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie this is amazing... aren't we lucky to have those videos to watch? You were extra lucky to have that gang of talented makers to show you the way without a laminator - it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting me to play cards with you!! xx

I had to catch my breath on this one, Bonnie. It is so beautiful. The shine comes through so well and it is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! Love the shine and the variation of colours that particular foil gives! Great layout with the domed die for the focal image panel and the vellum sentiment strip.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors the holographic foil gives your lovely flower, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous foiling, Bonnie! I love all the sparkle and that you embossed your sentiment on vellum...just perfect in every way!
ReplyDeleteI love how the light catches the foiling, the different colours look so pretty. It's a lovely stamp, perfect for this technique.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to be part of such a talented DT .... thank you for having me xx
I have a laminator and lots of pretty foil that's been used once...guess I need to get it out again and try again!! Your card is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie and what a perfect image to use the foiling on! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and sparkly.
