I have had a "thing" for foils.... the ones that go onto a sticky surface and then peel off to show shiny, gorgeous colours. So we all know that it works semi-ok on the sticky embossing powder, works brilliantly on double-sided tape, works wonderfully on clear embossing powder images and then run through a laminator but this is another way to use it! Get out your dies and your double-sided adhesive paper (also known as JAC paper), cut out your shapes, peel the protective backing off, stick it to a card, peel off the front protective piece, add your foil, rub well and lift off! You'll have beautiful die-cut shapes that have been foiled! Of course, you can use several colours to make a multi-coloured effect or a single colour. If you've missed any bits, use a glue pen to add some more sticky and wait 5 or so minutes, foil again. To appreciate how awesome this technique looks, you must try it for yourself, the computer screen does these atc's no justice at all.
I'll be taking a small hiatus, be back early June.
