You can choose to receive Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper for free with a $50 this month (while supplies last). The beautiful designs are foil-embossed in rose gold and silver, and they can be colored.
Last night on Facebook Live, I showed a few methods of coloring these papers. Flowering Foils lend themselves to projects that look fancy and special, without a lot of work! They are also a bit difficult to photograph, but I did my best…
I touched color onto the paper used on these cards with sponge daubers. You cannot “color in the lines” with sponge daubers, but you can get a beautiful effect that is quick and carefree. The greetings are from “Peaceful Moments”.
I used a sponge brayer with Night of Navy ink to color this background. The greeting is from “So Sentimental”.
I used the negative of one of the Stitched So Sweetly die cuts as a stencil, allowing me to make the darker shape behind the greeting. I used the sponge brayer on this shape first, and then I added color to the entire piece of designer paper.
This card reminds me… I advise you to have a paper towel or tissue handy when working with the foils. The foil designs resist ink, and ink can collect on the foil. You will want to wipe over the pattern to remove excess ink and reveal the shine of the foil. In the absence of a paper towel, I used my navy blue sweater sleeve in the video, but I do not recommend this 🙂
The designer paper on this card is also colored with sponge brayers – in Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, and Lovely Lipstick. The greeting is from “Layered with Kindness”.
I colored these backgrounds with my Stampin’ Blends, Light Purple Posy and Dark Seaside Spray. It looks like a lot of tedious coloring, but it goes quite quickly – and coloring is very relaxing!
The greetings are from “Happy Birthday To You” and “Peaceful Moments”. That fabulous die-cut trim piece is from the Lily Pad Dies.
I’d say that these papers give a lot of bang for your buck, but that’s not really appropriate since they are free! Please keep in mind that they are only available while supplies last.
