Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!
I guess this means my vacation is over! (Inserting Sad face)
Ooh, well... all things must come to an end, I just wish
my vacation was longer! LOL
I had a lot of fun visiting with my sister and
my nieces - we celebrated one of my nieces
birthdays - it was a milestone one, she turned 30!
We got a hotel suite, went out for dinner, drinks, and
did an Escape Room - I had never done one of those
before - it was soooo much fun! We all had a blast!
Of course, I did some shopping to while visiting -
I mean that's ALWAYS on my itinerary when visiting my sister! (LOL)
Okay.. enough jabbering about my visit I guess - 😉
I am addicted to foiling - everyone who follows me
knows this about me... :) I just can't stop! I have a pile
sitting on my desk with backgrounds that have
been foiled - I have a problem!! 😱
Which leads us into my 1st card this week -
Isn't it lovely? I did some FOILING!!! EEK! I'm using another
Digital set from my friend Jessica over at Polka Dot Orchard
I'm using Flowers in Bloom and You are everything flower butterfly
I colored the To Go cup with my Stampin' Blend pens
I wanted to get a shot of the card on an angle so you could see the foiling -
I foiled the Sentiment and the lower floral border - It really
looks so pretty up close and in person!
I used a JOT Adhesive backed stencil (I found at Tuesday Morning) Forever ago
and some Deco Foil Transfer gel
I let the gel sit and dry completely then went back with some purple deco foil,
putting in through my your story laminator -
It turned out perfect to my surprise! YAY ME!
The sentiment was printed out on my Laser Printer and foiled with
some gunmetal foil by Minc
I used a Stitched rectangle frame die by My Creative Time
The Banner Die is from Lawn Fawn
The stitched strips die is from MFT
and I added a couple of Lucy's Card's gems to tie it all together!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

This card is absolutely gorgeous! That purple is so beautiful. I only just started venturing into the foiling world so I only have gold (it was on 75% off clearance!). Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteTheresa, your vacation sounds like it was a lot of fun ! I have never done an escape room but I have always wanted to .
ReplyDeleteDo you know that I have never foiled ? I have some here but I get confused by written instructions. I probably need to go watch a YouTube video . Your card is so gorgeous it gives me inspiration .
Hugs,
