Monday - here we go with another week!

Morning readers,

Hope you enjoyed your weekend and that Storm Ashley wasn't too bad for you all.

I've a make to share with you today ..... I'm a fan of the glue stick foiling method, I like the less than perfect effect and feel it just elevates a "nice" card by several degrees, to a special card and so .... an anniversary card evolved during the recent session at my Table of Craftiness!

My C6 card

And a closer view of the gluestick foiling

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in white and pink, for my card front, insert and matting
• Using low tack tape I masked off a section for stencilling
• Vicki Boutin heart stencil used, with makeup brush, to apply Memento rosebud ink through.
• Whilst my stencil was in place I used a gluestick to add a "swathe" of glue through the stencil too, burnishing with my fingers before removing and washing the stencil
• After leaving the glue stick for an hour, I overlaid my sheet of gold foil and burnished firmly with my fingers and then left it overnight to "dry" before removing the foil. I just love the way it gives a kind of grungey coverage
• Hero Arts sentiment (from CL342) stamped using Versafine onyx black ink
