I decided to do several background pieces with the Gel and foil so I set up a "hinge" to make things easier. First I placed two pieces of tape in an "L" shape on my surface. This was to align my card stock. Then placed my stencil on top and secured just the top of the stencil down.
My Neenah Classic Crest 110lb card stock was aligned with the "L" shape and secured on the side with Purple Tape then I placed my Botanical Dream Stencil (TCW) and secured at the top. More tape was placed on the stencil to mask off the unused areas. Then a thin layer of Deco Foil Transfer Gel was applied with a plastic palette knife with excess being returned to the jar. This was set aside to dry while I continued with more backgrounds. Once dry I applied Rose Gold Deco Foil and placed in a folded parchment paper and ran through my Laminator (This is the new one I just purchased -arrives today. My old one (fairly new) was recalled). It is such a beautiful thing removing the carrier sheet to reveal that amazing shine! To bring the card together, the awesomely shiny background is adhered to the Kraft card base. Seam Binding (Hug Snug) was wrapped and tied with a bow. A Tim Holtz button is attached with a glue dot after I snipped off the back sewing piece. The sentiment is from Choose Happy (SSS) and is stamped with Versafine Ink and sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder (Ranger) and melted with my Marvy Heat Tool. Now for my trusty Big Shot (Sizzix)! I ran the sentiment through with Stitched Squares and Square Die Set both from The Stamps of Life. The Kraft sentiment paper is inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and finally raised with Scotch Foam Tape.
