tried foiling

How pretty, just delightfully pretty. I haven't tried foiling yet. Is it very tricky? Polly

"EstelleUK" Have just made another ( yet another) fabric postcard and did foiling with

Very nice, Estelle. The foiling is a really nice addition - and I like the design too. It's simple, but the foiling makes it classy!

Those cards are just incredibly lovely.

In fact, your whole webshots site is a delight. You're very talented! Thanks for sharing the link.

Thank you Polly. Now I have tried it I can say it is very easy. Trace the shape of the part you want to add foil to on your choice of fusible web and cut out the shape. Fuse it in on to the fabric with the iron,then put on the foil with the shiny side up and iron over (with something to protect it in case the iron is a little too hot! don't ask!) The foil can be then peeled away and will only stick to the fusible web! Great fun!

Thanks Louise. I like to make Postcards. They fill in whilst I plan my next project!

Thank you Sherry. How very kind of you.

What sort of foil do you use for this? I really like the effect - would work well for Christmas stuff.

Hi Lizzy. The foil is called Ario Transfoils. I got a trial pack with gold silver and bronze from one of the shows. I think it was Malvern, a couple of years ago. They adhere to any sticky surface. I think they can be used on paper/card also.I have just found their web site.

Thanks Estelle, I'll have a look at that,

That's lovely, Estelle. And I just got lost looking through your other postcards. You're really talented in the art department and your designs are just lovely.

That's lovely, Estelle! :)

Thank you Sunny. They are easy to handle on the SM. I have a workshop to teach on Postcards on Saturday and hope to inspire them a little! lol

really really pretty! i've never attempted a post card-they look like so much fun!

Is the Green "bow" intentionally made to look like a dragonfly?? i am a huge fan of dragonflies. Just beautiful work. I love the other cards too. the Ballerinas are so pretty. you're so talented! You're students will love this technique.

Thank you Amy .Do you know I never noticed the "Dragon Fly" until you said. I could say it was intentional and now my nose is growing as we speak! lol
