I loved playing around with the Little Birdie Heavy Gel and Couture Creations Foil to create foiled elements. Take a look at how easy it is to use your stencils to create gorgeous foiled backgrounds.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 1<\/h3>\n

You will need Heavy Gel, foil, scissors, a stencil and a palette knife.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

Step 2<\/h3>\n

Cut a piece of foil that will cover the size of your stencilled cardstock piece.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Step 3<\/h3>\n

Apply a thick layer of Heavy Gel through your stencil using a palette knife.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 4<\/h3>\n

While the gel is still wet, place the foil over the stencilled piece and press it down lightly onto the gel. Set aside your piece until the gel is dry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

If the gel is dry, the foil will be adhered to the gel, if the gel is still wet, there will be no foil attached to it.[\/bsf-info-box]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Step 5<\/h3>\n

Once the gel is totally dry you can remove the foil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

Step 6<\/h3>\n

Peel the foil off from the gel background to reveal your design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

Step 7<\/h3>\n

Use your foiled piece on a card or layout.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

It\u2019s so fun to see your foiled stencilled design revealed when you peel off the foil. Try using multi coloured foils at the same time for a creative variation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
