Anniversary in Foil

I got the idea for this card  from one of Gina's foil videos.

She did her foiling tone on tone, and

I decided to do mine on white.

The pretty panel is a stencil from Tim Holtz called Lace Layering Stencil.  

I used Deco Transfer Gel and then foiled with

GKD Turquoise Foil.

The sentiment is from the Wedding & Anniversary Foil Mates set

and is, also, foiled with Turquoise Sea foil.

I used a GKD Double Stitched Square die to cut out the sentiment.

I was going to layer the sentiment using the Single Stitched Square die, 

but when I opened the package I found another Double Stitched die.

I made a call to GKD Customer Service and they are sending me the correct die.

In face, I received the ship notice this afternoon.

Gina K. Designs is a first rate company!

Here are some other panels I made using stencils from Tim Holtz.

I can't wait to make these into cards and play with some more foil.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Your kind comments always make my day!

Hello Sunshine

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day, and

when it's cold outside I've got the month of May.

We've had so much rain lately, we may have to buy a boat.

So, I decided to go sunshiny in my craft room.

Aren't sunflowers the happiest of flowers!

I decided to play with some of my pretty foils and

the Gina K. Designs Graphic Sunflower stamp set.

It is very hard to photograph foil.

There is a glare on the flower centers on the first card, and I had to turn

the bottom card more than usual to get it to photograph

 without dark blotches on the background.

The background on the second card is the negative foil from the first card.

I used every little bit of that gorgeous Wild Dandelion foil.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Merry Christmas Poinsettia

I am a Poinsettia nut, I admit it.  They are my favorite winter flower and a must for every Christmas. My sweet husband buys me one every year.  This Poinsettia is from Gina K. Designs.  Isn't it beautiful!

This gorgeous stamp is a multi stamp process.  There is a solid layer, two accent layers and the outline.  I used all four of them here.  I love the shading effect.  For the background, I used a Gingham Stencil from Simon Says Stamps and some Deco Foil Transfer Gel.  The gold foil is from Heidi Swapp.  I added some yellow Stickles for the flower center.

Thanks so much for coming by to look.  Your kind comments are always appreciated.
