Stencil and Foil

 Hi Friends,

Stencils and foils, what a great combination.

There are many ways to foil on a card. One easy way, that doesn't require any special machines, is to use Transfer Duo gel together with your foils.

Here I have used the transfer gel through a mandala stencil. The gel goes on white, and then becomes clear when it dries. Once it's clear it's time for the foil. You place the foil, pretty side up, over the gel and press it down, by hand or with your die cutting machine. Lift up the sheet of foil and you are left with a beautiful foiled image. To finish my card I added a stamped and heat embossed sentiment in gold.
