Working With Silver and Gold Leaf Foils

I have never been a fan of the FSJ Silver and Gold Leaf Foils until recently.   I discovered that they can be applied easily to double sided adhesive tape.

Here are some samples .... I put double sided adhesive tape on the card front (base) and then applied a die cut (butterfly or tree).  One die cut was in position, I then placed then rubbed the leaf with my fingers to get it attached to the adhesive.   The final step was to take a sponge dauber and brush off the excess from the die cut.   Very pleased with the results.

The butterfly was done in gold leaf foil.    A dear friend gave me the Gnome stamp set as a surprise last month.   I thought the little house, sign, and frog were the perfect accents for this card.  


The tree was done with silver leaf foil.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

      Thank you. They are quite easy to do with the double sided adhesive tape. The foil is a bit messy because it is so lightweight, but pretty easy to work with.
