Parchment & Foiling

 Hi Everybody,   

This pretty card is created using the parchment from the past few videos along with some foil in a Bright Gold colour for the Leaves of the design.

I used the bright gold from Deco Foil as it is designed to work with the Deco Foil Transfer Duo Gel.

The gel is amazing and it can be used with or without a hot foil machine. I know they are an expensive item to buy and not everybody wants one.

So I chose to use it with something that I already have and that is my die cutting machine. The Duo Gel means the foil is added with either heat or pressure and so the die cutter is perfect. 

The Deco foil comes in many many colours and will do exactly what you want it to do. 

There are variegated foils, rainbow foils, holographic foils, pastel shades, jewel shades. opal foil as well as black, white, several shades of gold, including rose gold and silver

 But be careful  when you buy as not all foils are the same and work in different ways.

Should you think that you have done something wrong or your not getting the result you expect then check the foil you are using as it may be the wrong one for the job you are doing.

Parchment and Foiling

Will show you how I made thee cards and the result is  lovely with a touch if luxury to them.

The foiled parchment can be die cut to any shape you want.  or torn to suit your creations .

Have a play and see what you can come up with I am sure you will be surprised

Both the gel and the foils look expensive but there is such a lot in the pot of gel or the pack of foils that they go along way and are well worth trying if you like foiling your projects and don't want the expense of buying a hot foil machine

More tomorrow ...
