Miss Ink Stamps -Mixing It Up with Foil and Acrylic Paint


Welcome back!  Played with some more foil and acrylic paint this week!  I created this background using a piece of leftover foil.  I had created a foil base using the Circular Harlequin stencil and some transfer gel which left a great piece of negative foil.  I thought the background was perfect for a Mother' Day Card with the Climbing Roses stamp set!


I grabbed a gel print I'd made recently and ran it through with the sheet and got a really cool effect.  I learned a couple things and an important one was the age of your gel print has a lot to do with the amount of foil that will transfer to your piece.  Originally I put one through that was 6 months old and a little transferred leaving some pretty sparkle.  Then I used this one that was just a couple weeks old and got more of a transfer.  Tested the theory a few times and it seems to work.  But it's ok because I've got more ideas that I'm gonna play around with and I'll let you know!


In the meantime here's a quick video showing the difference between this one and the old one!  I'll be using the other panel in the near future on another project so stay tuned for that!


Thank you so much for stopping!  Hope you'll come again soon!

Joy Clair Ray of Sunshine Instagram Hop - Guest Designer


I am so excited to be hopping along with the Joy Clair team for the new release Instagram Hop!  It's a Ray of Sunshine!  And here's how I was inspired:


Eeep!  Sweet right?  I've used a couple of the new sets on this one.  One of my favorite things about digital stamps is that you can foil them!  When I saw this floral from the Forever Moments stamp set I knew right away I'd need to foil it, and when I was trying to decide what color, I decided ... all of them!  So I used some rainbow foil.


I knew some black and white stripes would be perfect and also knew that I wanted to add this pretty kitty from the Fun Times stamp set because I think the recipient will love it!


The sentiment is from the Forever Moments set and well, I guess it's not hard for you to figure out who this might be for...lol!  She probably won't see this because she only comes here when I play along with her challenge...lol!


And here are the colors I used!
