Hot Foiling on Distress Inked Cardstock

I've been doing some hot foil testing for my latest card for Spellbinders. This card features the Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and die set from the Four Petals Collection, newly released this month. I wasn't sure if you could hot foil on top of distress oxide ink, but I'm here to say, yes you can!

I wanted to create a simple, elegant card. We all know as card makers that from time to time, life happens and we need something quick. If you love hot foiling with your Glimmer Hot Foil System, you're going to love how easy this is.

You'll need your favorite Ranger distress oxide ink and a craft heat tool. I'm using the Speckled Egg distress oxide ink for this project. A few quick swipes across your card panel is all you need. I recommend laying it flat on a craft mat when swiping. 

Bonus Tip: 

Use an oversized card panel to trim down after inking for visual appeal and to avoid 

uneven inked edges.

Next, we want to heat set the color so it's good and dry before foiling. If you have the patience to wait a few hours and let your ink dry naturally you can do that. Otherwise, grab your craft heat tool and gently heat set for about 30 seconds, giving some of that time to the backside of your card panel as well. 

Once I finished the foiling process using the my Polished Brass hot foil, I layered my card with some trimmed gold paper, white cardstock, then my foiled card panel. My foiled sentiment was popped up on adhesive foam. 

I actually tried to add some embellishments on another foiling that I tested. I added lots of liquid colored dots on those swirled points but it did not look good. AT ALL, haha. It was seriously too much and I had to scrap it. Sometimes, you just don't need to mess with a good thing!

Check out the entire Four Petal Collection from Spellbinders. There's something for everyone!
