Gina K. Foil and Copic Markers

This past weekend I played around with some Gina K. foil and techniques that Jennifer McGuire shared in a video recently.  I think this particular technique was my favorite.

Check out this card:

Foil and Copic Markers Card Recipe

I started with Gina K. Foil in silver.  I colored the foil using the ROYGBIV(Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigu and Violet) with Copic Markers.  I only made it through Red, Orange, Yellow and Green using the broad nib of the markers.  You can also use Sharpie markers or any alcohol markers if you don't have Copics or you don't want to use your Copics on the foil.  The LOVE die is from Penny Black and I cut the word out of white card stock.  I glued the foil to the red card stock and then adhered the white card stock to the red card stock.  I added sequins in colors that coordinate with the colors on the foil . And I also added YOU in black ink.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in next time for another paper crafting or t-shirt project.  Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.

Fun with Gina K. Foil and Penny Black

I am doing a class at Craft Inn using Gina K. foil and a Penny Black LOVE die.  I saw a Jennifer McGuire video that inspired me to do these foil cards.  I tried using just adhesive and I get much better results when I use the heat to adhere the foil on large spaces.  I am still experimenting though.

Here is the first card I made.

Foiled Card Recipe

For the red strips I used score tape and the Gina K. foil.  I used Stick-it on a pice of 8.5 x 11 white card stock.  I added the silver Gina K. foil to the card stock on top of the stick it.  You place the foil pretty side up on the adhesive.  Press the foil until it is smooth and then pull the foil up.  The foil with the adhesive will stay.  I cut out the word LOVE using a Penny Black die out of the card stock and adhered it to the card stock with the red stripes.  I found some large silver sequins and added them to add interest.
