Hello everyone and welcome to the latest Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media challenge. This time our theme is 'shine'
I have been wanting to try some foiling for a long time but haven't yet taken the plunge into buying a Minc machine or laminator, so I had to go along the route of glue and transfer foil to come up with this card
I stuck down the diamond border, stamped the 'you' from Happy Little Stampers Bold Birthday Sentiments, and then glued the 'shine' underneath it. I cut a few diamond shapes with another part of the PB die, coated them with glue and when they were dry I added some gold Perfect Pearls for a more subtle shine. I layered up the panels with some gold textured card and some foam tape to finish it off.
I can't wait to see how you interpret the 'shine' theme this month but if you want some more inspiration before you dive in, why not pop over to the Happy Little Stampers Blog to see what our amazing team has to show you. We have the wonderful KalySto joining us as Guest Designer this month and you will definitely want to see her fabulous contribution to the challenge.

LOVE the texture of your card panels Carol. Your foiling turned out wonderful. I haven't tried that yet. xx
Love your foiling Carol and the paper is gorgeous..a really lovely card! huggles Sue xx
This is beautiful, and I love the look of the 'distressing' on the foil. You've done a super job with the products you used, and FWIW, I have the Minc, and what you've done gives just as nice a look. (and while I love to enable, I'd say stick with the way you did this. My Minc efforts were no smoother than what you've done here). Another good way is to use the Nuvo glue on the stamp, then foil. That works nicely too. Love the IO CAC stamping...so much texture. Love those stamps!! This is a pretty design, and TFS
