Personally I don’t have a foiling machine and with all my other machines I just can’t justify it.
However I bought a couple of rolls of Deco Foil when they were being clearances at Hobby Lobby and needed to find a way to use them.
On glossy card stock I made a background with Ranger Alcohol inks in purples and blues.while they were still moist I rubbed the piece with gold Deco Foil.
This piece I applied to the front of a white card stock base card.
With another part of the foiled piece I die cut the “BOO” using Tim Holtz “Halloween Words” die and glued it to the front.
Using another piece of white card stock I stamped the sentiment from Tim Holtz “Life of the Party” set with Distress Archival ink dusty concord.
This I trimmed to ft and die cut two ghosts from Tim Holtz “Frightful Things” dies and glued them to the card front over the sentiment piece.
(I only had to use two ghosts as I cut one in half.)
