Hello my crafty friends. I get some of my best crafting ideas when I'm drifting off to sleep, or trying to get BACK to sleep in the night. While that would inspire some to jump out of bed and get creating, I find it soothing. The trick is to actually remember the idea in the morning, ha ha. This card is the result of one of those nights and I couldn't be happier with it.
I used my Glimmer Foil to foil a REGULAR DIE! Karen Burniston's new Slim Bat Pattern Plate to be specific. Gold foil on black card stock and it foiled beautifully. I might have gasped when I peeled away the foil - the shine was amazing.
Using a Stardust gel pen, I added lines into each of the negative areas then decided to just go for broke and add colour to the bats with coloured pencils. Finally I added gold gel pen eyes to each bat.
Here is a peek at the inside and I used the same glittery gel pen to outline the inside panels.
NOTE: Usually I would be able to use the negative foil piece with a solid hot foil stamp to get a second, reverse foiled image. Which would have been ok with this one except I tried it on black card stock. Foiling requires a really smooth card stock and my black is not that smooth apparently. It was ok for the fine lines but not for a really solid image. While the foil did transfer it looked splotchy and very unappealing so it got tossed. I would have been better to add it to a white smooth cardstock. Next time!
