Foil Quill Explorations 3

Here is my third foil quill experiment. I made a Mother's Day card and gold-foiled both the floral print and the sentiment. I am indebted to the Silhouette School Blog for the tutorial that enabled me to get a good fill on the sentiment.


Foiled an envelope, too!

I printed this on Recollection shimmery cardstock that coordinated with the foil.

Further adventures in with the foil quill. This time I made a card with silver foil highlights on a printed vintage floral image, and a foil-trimmed frame. Impossible to get a good photo, but I tried.

I recently started playing with a new tool, the WeRMemoryKeepers Foil Quill. This is a heated tip that replaces a sketch pen or blade in a cutting machine to enable one to apply heat activated foil to a substrate. In this case I used silver foil. These photos show how I added lines in the software to this floral print-and-cut image that the foil would adhere to.

Doesn't photograph well straight on.
At an angle you can see the silver better.

Lots of possibilities with this fun new tool!
