So to cheer myself up and make my blog look pretty I have uploaded two cards I made using some crafting foil. Never tried this before and thought I would give it a go. It was amongst the craft supplies I was given by my daughter's boyfriend's Aunt. I first spread glue randomly on the card blank and then applied the foil (shiny side up), rubbed it all over and heated it for a few seconds, waited (not very long tee hee) and then pulled the foil off leaving behind the shiny surface.
The first card is for a friend's birthday
And the second one is a thank you card to my daughter's boyfriend's Aunt who sadly can no longer craft and I was very fortunate to be given all of her supplies.
This photo give you a close up of the foiling
Thank you for visiting my blog today.

That's a great way to use the foil, Tracey - looks really effective.
I've got loads of silver/gold leaf somewhere - I should dig it out ans see if I can use some of it like this
