After all my hot foiling and diecutting the other day, this Lovely Blossoms Hot Foil Birthday Card is one I made after trying out hot foiling on a piece of the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper. I could have cut out the hot foiled “Happy Birthday” sentiment, but I decided to leave it as is and make it into a card with the designer series paper being the background layer.
The card base is Cloud Cover Cardstock, one of the In Colors. I trimmed down the foiled designer paper to 3 3/4″ x 5″ so I could add a layer of Basic White underneath to help the paper stand out a little. Then I looked through the Lovely Blossoms DSP to see if I wanted to cut out a little flower to cover a messy foil spot on the card. I found this combination of two flowers and decided to fussy-cut them. As it turned out, I liked the way it looked underneath the birthday greeting (made with the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies) so I adhered it flat to the card. I considered popping it up on Mini Dimensionals. That would be okay, too.
To cover the little smudge of gold foil, I added some white dots from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots. They worked perfectly and look just right on the card. Hot foiling gives such an elegant and professional look to your cards! It’s surprising every time!
