Garden Silhouette

Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

This week’s monochromatic Insta Hop color is Calypso Coral. I am excited to share my first attempt at using hot foil onvellum, then coloring on the back. I need to improve my technique, but in general I’m quite happy with my first try.

I am enjoying the hot foiling on my cards so much. It has really opened up my creative options!

Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

After I used hot foil on the front of the vellum, I colored with Stampin' Blends on the back of the vellum. Then I cut a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the same size as my vellum, and applied it directly to the back. I then adhered the vellum to the Willow White cardstock for a clear view of the coloring.

After the hot foiling I had trimmed the original vellum down, leaving me a 3/8" x 5" strip of the vellum. So I colored it and used it on the left side of the inner message liner.
