Hi everyone. I broke down and bought a laminator. :) I was on the fence about it for a while, but I'm glad I went ahead. Had a play day a couple of days ago with Christine, Susan and Trina. One of the things we did was play with Christine's laminator and we figured out what way works best for us. We watched a few videos, and in the end we tried the gel transfer, heat and stick powder, and white embossing powder. The gel transfer was the only way we got consistently good coverage. And we used a carrier sheet (piece of copy paper folded in half) to get it smoothly through the machine. I had a snippet of black brushos background in my stash. Over top, I stenciled speckles using the gel transfer medium and palette knife. It had to dry clear before I could add my foil (about 1/2 hour as I put a thin coating on). I added copper foiling which I think worked perfectly. Also die-cut the leaf sprig and using double sided adhesive. Added the copper foil over top. The shine from the foiling is incredible! Here's a close-up ... My friend Mac (Sweetest of Peas) is Guest Designing this month at The Male Room, so I wanted to play along. I do make a fair amount of masculine cards so need to check out this challenge more often! :) Since I used snippets for my brusho panel and a snippet for the die-cut leaf, I'm heading over for a visit to the Playground. Haven't been there for a while. I hope they remember me! :) Paper: Mixed Medida (Strathmore 140 lb. 400 Series); Black (SU!)
