There are many FUN ways to use Adhesives! Today’s technique is so easy to do and if you like ‘shiny’ then come check it out!
Welcome back! I am here today with Altenew and we are hopping along so you should have arrived here from the SEEKA’s wonderful blog!
Foil is very inexpensive and today I want to share one of my favourite ways to add Toner Foil WITHOUT a machine…. it’s a great way to add that little extra shine, which is what I wanted for my fishes water here.
How to Get the Look!
I used the Altenew Ultra Sticky Adhesive (both the 1/2″ and 1/4″) and layed down some stripes on a piece of cardstock. After removing the release paper it was as easy as laying the foil with the pretty side up and I ‘burnished it’ (fancy word for rub) with my finger.
Did you know that there are many ways to add Foil without machines, check out my VIDEO HERE to see some.
I also used Altenew’s Foam Tape to create the shaker well, this is a speedy way to make an interactive card. And it’s a double layer to allow that little extra bit of ‘shake’.
