Karen gave us such beautiful colors this week - so tropical! I love them!
They were perfect for playing with the new watercolor challenge and for playing with my new Glimmer Hot Foil system!
I hadn't done the WC technique in quite some time and never using the acetate sheet as a "brush'. So much fun!
The foiling took a bit of time as it was not quite as easy as the YouTube videos make it look. It wasn't terribly difficult, just a matter of figuring what works based on your machine, how much foil to use, etc. A learning curve which the videos don't show you!
In any case I'm happy with the result.
I hope you will find time to join us in the challenge this week!

This is a beauty. I love your smooshed background with those colors and the foiling is super. So happy you joined our first w/c challenge.

I've been wanting to try hot foil for quite some time but it seems very intimidating to me. Yes, they make it look so easy on YouTube. Thanks for sharing your hot foil experience with us. One day I'll give it a try!
Speaking of hot foil... you did a GREAT job! It looks wonderful against your beautiful background. All aspects of your card pulled together nicely. TFS.

Beautiful card with the bg and technique with the foiling. The foiling can be difficult when it doesn't adhere like it should. I have the hot foiling by gemini, and not all foils are equal. Thanks for the inspiration, need to use it more. TFS
