Good Day, Fine Feathered Friends!
(or at least that's what Hubbs would say - lol)
Today's card brings the reverse foiling of this card, something I'm not sure I'm that good at... You decide. While I know that this "wreath" isn't really for Christmas, with all that foiling I believe it's an easy pass.
I reverse foiled, cut it out with the die and then cut out the die again on the top layer of white cardstock. Behind the negative, or between the two layers of white, I placed a red piece of cardstock glued to the white with only the very center removed. Clear as mud, right?! I added a red ribbon and bow, then placed the foiled sentiment overtop.
So why don't I think it worked? Well my issue is that once you reverse foil it and pull off the clear portion of the foil, it always leaves what appears to be tiny scratches or imperfections in the reversed portion. Now, while you can't see it from your view, it's there and kind of annoys me...
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a solution?
Yes, I heat the solid plate twice, then time it once more with the foil and cardstock in place.
Well, that's my dilemma for the day! Lol -- wouldn't it be grand if all problems were this simple?
Supplies:
PFS - Floral Octagon Frame pp
Splb - Holiday Greetings pp
Yep, I'll be submitting this to Christmas Kickstart #101
Well I'm off on a couple of errands and then a few hours of squishing on my newest grandson!
Have a blessed day.

Your reverse foiled wreath is beautiful TK and I don't see the scratches on your wreath at all...but I do know what you're talking about because I see the scratches when I do reverse foiling...grrrrrrr! No answer on how to fix it either, I just mostly avoid reverse foiling! Ha!! How's that for a solution?! But anyway, your card is so pretty and looks great from where I'm sitting!! Hugs. :0)
Looks like a card that would work brilliantly at Christmas, TK. It's a beauty, and your foiling is dah bomb. Thanks for joining Greta and me at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
It looks good to me, TK! I've never even heard of reverse foiling... yes I'm living under a rock I suppose!
I love the reverse foiling. I do it for sentiments.
I know nothing about reverse foiling but. I do know a pretty card when I see it! Actually it is more than pretty and is so beautiful with the gorgeous colors. Awesome work!
Looks quite pretty to me!
It looks beautiful to me and lovely for Christmas! Thank you for joining Jo and me at CKC!
