Creatively handcrafted cards.
This beautiful digital stamp comes from StarStampz. There was so much detail in the image I decided to go for a more simple card.
I used the Minc and foiled the image in gold.
I used fall colored cardstock to finish off the card and added a few sequins. This made a simple yet pretty fall card where the image is crisp and clear.
I have been seeing a lot of foil being used lately so I thought it was time to finally use the Minc my husband so lovingly bought for me for Christmas. I have been wanting to try the Deco Foil Transfer Gel from Gina K Designs. She has a great YouTube video using it. Everywhere I looked was out of it. I decided to try an experiment with what I had at home. 
I mixed the embossing paste with the Minc Reactive Paint on my craft mat. Using watercolor paper I taped down my stencil and spackled the mixed paste over my stencil. I set it aside and let it dry overnight.
I used the silver foil and ran it through the Minc. It came out pretty good. My paste wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked but not bad for an experiment. I then decided to try the reactive paint as it was intended. I painted it onto another piece of watercolor paper. I also let it dry over night and used gold foil on it. It was a nice effect.
Lastly I tried the Reactive Mist. That was fun. I did the same as before putting it on watercolor paper and allowing it to dry over night. I used the holographic foil on it. That too had a nice effect.
This has inspired me to clean out my craft room to see what other treasures I have forgotten about. I’ll let you know what I find.
