Hi there blog friends ~ It’s time for our February challenge at CAS Stencil! Our Guest Designer is Steph from My Paper Corner and I am Hostess for this challenge. I chose ‘Foil’ for our prompt :)
I started by creating the background using Transfer Gel, my stencil, and Deco Foil then ran it through my laminator. I decided not to color the flower and leaves and use gold EP and sequins, keeping the design very CAS. I just wish you could see the gorgeous colors on this foil...it's multi-blues and greens with gold, and I really love it! Here is a close-up, which is a little better (I turned off the flash on my camera):
Using foils with stencils is a new technique for me, and I really had fun with it ~ I hope you'll grab your stencils and foils and come on over to the CAS Stencil Challenge Blog, get inspired by my teamies and our GD, Steph, and join us for this unique challenge!
Also, I have posted several video tutorials showcasing different ways to use foil with your stencils on the challenge blog.
You have until the 24th to play along ~

Wow what a gorgeous CAS design!!
Gorgeous CAS foil design, Barb. Thank you for sharing your detailed description and close up of the stunning foil colors and shining. Beautiful heat embossed and die cut uncolored flower too. TFS and hosting this creative foil challenge. Hugs..Nancy
P.S. The videos were very helpful:-)
I love that colourful dotty background. The gold rose sets it off beautifully xx
Thanks so much for making me get out my foils and really play with them Barb! I've had the supplies for a while and then never got the nerve up to figure out what to do with them! Your shiny dots are so pretty framed and overlaid with your golden edge bloom! A very elegant design! xx
Oh what a fun challenge, I rarely use foil with stencils... actually I've rarely used foils recently even though I have some I bought, is that bad? Thanks for the inspiration and the reninder lol.
Thank you for your welcome as GD this month ... just love the subtly of your foiled dots stencil as a background for your gold embossed rose, just beautiful ... Steph x
Barb, it was a fabulous idea to leave that rose just perfectly gold embossed! What a stunning foiled panel - thanks for that closeup! I might just have to do a little shopping, and video watching!

gorgeous Barb, love the dot background and your foil colour are stunning :)
Gorgeous card Barb! LOVE the multi-coloured foil dots in the background. Leaving the rest of the card white (with gold embossing) really shows off the foiling. Had fun with this challenge! xx

So pleased you posted a close up, Barb ... the shimmery, multi hued, tiny polka dots are fantastic and so eyecatching! Love the airiness of the gold embossed line art against them ... a gorgeous CAS card ... so inspiring, thank you! Hugs, Anita :)
