I have been playing with Deco Foils and Deco Foil Transfer Gel and had several pieces sitting on my craft desk without any ideas on how to pull them together. Then I remembered this sketch from the Spring CardMaker issue:
I know it is hard to see, but I think you can get the idea. Great sketches are most helpful when designing cards. You don't have to follow it 100%, but use it as a starting point. I started with a black card base and a card front that I made with a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop. I taped the stencil down on a white card piece and applied Therm-o-web's Deco Foil Transfer Gel though the stencil. I let it dry about an hour, then laid Rose Gold Deco Foil on top and ran it through my laminator. It is so easy to add texture to a card with the transfer gel and gives us another way to use our stencils! I used a couple Foilables from Creative Vision Stamps for the sentiment (cut the "hello friend" in half and used purple Deco Foil) and the feather (used teal Deco Foil on a patterned Foilable, then laid the negative on a Deco Foil toner sheet and ran that through the laminator again.) I attached the "friend" semi-circle with a black script washi tape strip and attached the feather with pop dots.
I am entering this card in the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
