Hello, again friends, and Happy Thursday!

Have you been bitten by the foil bug? Either you love it or hate it. I have mixed reviews, lol. It depends on the day for me. Sometimes I foil without any issue and sometimes I get the worst transfers. For me, I think it is figuring out the papers that transfer best with solid plates that I sometimes have issues with. The thinner-lined foiled designs always transfer well for me. 

For my project today, I have a foiled card to share with you featuring products from the Rainbow Dreams release. *To use foil plates you will need a hot foil system. I used the Spellbinders one.

Please note all NEW products will go live after the Honey Bee Stamps Youtube live stream on Friday, May 27th, so the links below will not be active until then.

CARD RECIPE

This foiled rainbowlicious card features the new:

• Rainbow Hot Foil Plate
• Look For The Rainbow 
• Look For The Rainbow Dies
• Rainbow A2 Pierced Cover Plate
• Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base 

Other Supplies used:

• Scallop A2 Frame Dies
• Outdoor Scene Builder Stencils
• Intense Black Ink
• Bee Creative Glue
• White Foam Dots With Tab
• Iridescent Rain Drops
• RAINBOW Glimmer Foil
• AURA Glimmer Foil
• RED Glimmer Foil
• Hot Foil System

As you can see from the pictures the darker rainbow colors foiled beautifully, but if you look closely at the yellow on the rainbow, it is a bit patchy. That is why I only used half of the rainbows that I foiled to create this wave. The yellow and the red didn't transfer as well, and since I hate to waste I came up with this design to salvage the good pieces.

This card is so pretty in real life. The reflective properties of the foil make it difficult to photograph them well, but I think I captured them as well as possible.

I hope this inspired you today, and if you are like me don't give up on foiling if you had a few bad attempts. If I had I may have not made this pretty card. Also even though, things sometimes are challenging I love learning from my mistakes.

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow with more Rainbow Dreams Inspirations... Happy Crafting!
