I've had a laminator for awhile, but decided it was time to try the foil laminating technique. Easy to do, but it requires an hour wait after applying the gel transfer medium. I'm not the most patient person, so it seemed like an eternity.
I created a rectangular frame with two rectangle dies and added a border of faux stitching and then another done with the gold pen.

I love the pink and the gold together. So pretty. The waiting is the hardest part for me too! And no I found out my laminator is recalled, so I will have to wait to get a new one :-(

An hours wait to laminate . . .that would make me crazy! Still for those of you who have the patience, the result is well worth it. Your gold foiling is rich and lustrous looking. The faux stitch looks like it was done on my old singer. Nicely done combining 2 challenges.

Thanks for that tip about the Foil. Not sure I can be that patient, so maybe I can mark something off my wish list.
