Before I move away and take a break from the Todo machine I thought I would post a few pictures showing foiling plates. This is actually the easy way to foil!  and they can be used for letter pressing techniques too.

These make fabulous backgrounds but it is also interesting to foil on top of your own inky backgrounds.

As you can see it’s way too tempting. It was just begging to be die cut. Here is a sneaky peak of a card I will be featuring later… Just in case you were wondering what I did with the butterfly!

You can also see an example of the background plate and sentiment plate.

Below is what the plates look like on coated card. The above example in on water colour card.

Above you can see the features die cut and used with other embellishments.
