Foiled Birthday


The theme at the current A Blog Named Hero Challenge is "Embossing'.  

I used an embossing paste meant for foiling on my card (Deco Foil Transfer Gel).  To hold the stencil in place I taped it to the back of the black cardstock, you can see a bit of the tape in the top of the photo below.

I wanted it to turn out a bit imperfect looking or distressed, so I only applied the paste to part of the card front.  I let this dry for over an hour as per the instructions.  It must be mostly clear but don't let it dry for too long or it will lose the tackiness needed to apply the foil.


I used some Heidi Swapp Minc foil and a laminator. After foiling I splattered it with white paint.


The sentiment is heat embossed with my go to white embossing powder from Hero Arts.


Lots of different ways to use embossing on a card.  Please share your embossing techniques at A Blog Named Hero.
