Creating with toner foil and copic markers

Today I am here to show you my first project for the month of November for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. I wanted to try combining some foiling with a little bit of Copic coloring and still keep the card CAS.

Using Silhouette Studio to get good placement of the design, I placed the sentiment twice and then removed one of the words from each instance so that I had a stacked sentiment result. I added the birds to the top of the words, with enough space so that I could foil the sentiment without  getting any foil on the birds - remembering that since all was printed on a laser printer, it was all toner and would foil if foil was placed on it. I printed one panel onto white cardstock and one panel onto a light teal cardstock.

I lined the foil up carefully before sending it through the Minc machine so that it only covered the sentiment. I fussy cut the birds from the teal printed panel and added some shading with my Copic markers and the Copic blender. I used BG49, BG15 and BG10.

I completed the card by gluing the teal birds on top of the printed ones on the white panel and then using a black glaze pen to add legs and dots on the eyes. I matted the panel onto a teal piece before adhering the panel to a white cardbase.

We look forward to seeing you in this month's Anything Goes challenge at Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. You have a month to enter and you have an additional chance at a prize if you use one of Jan's digis on your project.

Using G

Today I am sharing my last project for this year for the Christmas BINGO Challenge. This challenge starts in November and goes until December 15. This is now the final push to complete this year's Christmas cards.

I chose to use the G column this time and the three elements that I used were Red, Die Cuts and FREE. For my FREE element, I used foiling. I recently acquired a Minc machine after much deliberation and my only regret was that I had not done so sooner. On this card I printed the background pattern onto red cardstock with my laser printer and then foiled it with gold foil. The focal point is a Spellbinders poinsettia die which I cut out a white and out of gold cardstock. I colored the white flower leaves with copic markers and inlayed them into the gold outline.

I completed my card with a preprinted sentiment from Waffle Flower. We hope you will join our Christmas BINGO Challenge. You can choose any three elements from one of the BINGO columns (don't forget to mention what you chose in your blog post). The challenge runs for six weeks.
