Second Foil Quill Post...

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I'm back with

another Foil Quill Project! I really hope you guys

don't mind all the foil cards I've been sharing...

I really enjoy playing with all the different ways

you can add elegance to your card projects

and foils are definitely up there! :)

So, there are 2 cards and they are Christmas cards!

As you know I just got the Foil Quill kit and I bought extra Foil Quill colors at

my local Tuesday Morning, so I thought it would be fun to try using different foiled

colors on a card! When I use my Laser Printer and heat foil with

my laminator, it's really hard to get different colors - especially this close together

on a project - So having the foil quill really does help with those types of details!

I started out by finding an image in the Silhouette store (#208106)

I chose to use the BOLD PEN Tip this time and I had to

go to Sketch and enlarge my image then fill it in with the

checkered pattern again, then I used the .05 spacing and then

shrunk it down to fit on a card front -

What that does is "fill inside" the outline -

Most SVG's have an outline, and if you want to "color"

the inside with foil, you need to use the Sketch fill first

otherwise, it won't color inside - 

Here's a Youtube video showing someone using this technique

with the Foil Quill - Solid Fill

I used the Red foil first and it did the 2 trees and the 1 swirl, then when it was done

I used the Gold Foil which did 3 trees then I removed it and

then I used the Green foil to finish off the last 3 trees and swirl

I made 2 of them at the same time, so it took a while to create them -

Your machine is doing all the work and getting all the details

into each image - So you need to have patience which I don't

always have but watching this work flawlessly on

both cards made me very happy - It was only my second try

using the Foil quill - I could never get this foiled with all

3 colors with my laser printer and heat foiling, so you can

imagine the massive details having the quill can provide - 

I used Neenah Solar White Cardstock, Making Memories Gold & Red Cardstock,

MCT Stitched Rectangle Frame dies, The Sentiment is from MFT,

and I used Fun Foam for added dimension

Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
