STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday (April 26, 2020)...Nestled Circles and Tumbled Hearts Rainbow Foiled

Hello,

Welcome to my second Stencil Sunday post where, once again, I'm sharing some simple ways to play with the wonderful array of stencils available at STAMPlorations.

I'm a 'late bloomer' when it comes to many things *grin* and that was made even more clear when I realized what I was missing out in the realm of 'foiling'! Oh my stars! Deco Transfer Gel 2, foiling sheets, a foiling pen, a palette: these have become my new stencil BFFs!

Today, I'm sharing two cards using the first foils that joined my collection: Rainbow. The technique is simple: apply Deco Foil Transfer Gel 2 over the stencil, wait for it to dry, place the foil 'pretty side up' over your panel and run it through either your die-cutting machine OR your laminator. I love that this gel offers the option of a heat/no heat application.

Card #1

Nestled Circles - ARTplorations stencil (these look like rainbows to me)

Power of Words - Dee's Artsy Impressions

Circle die from my stash

To foil the balloon/confetti, I used the toner pen to 'colour' the image,

 then pressed foil onto the surface. 

Shimmery!!

Card #2

Hearts Tumbled - ARTplorations stencil

Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies

Power of Words - Dee's Artsy Impressions

Again, I used the toner pen to add foil to the stars (Rainbow foil) 

and the moon (Shattered Glass foil)

Foiling is a super easy way to breathe shimmer and shine into your stencils. I've used them as straightforward backgrounds here (as is often my way *grin*), but a multitude of different ways to showcase exist. I'll explore various versions down the road; just waiting for a couple few more foils to make their way into my collection!
