Are you scared to watercolour? How about adding a little something extra… like ‘foiling’ to take it up a notch!
I’ve been ALL about watercolouring lately, I suppose it’s right in the forefront of my mind because my class starts soon at the Card Makers Success Summit and that is my focus… as well as a trifold shaped card. Nothing like making things easy on myself lol. I hope to see you soon at my LIVE which is 5.30pm EST (New York) 23rd March… bring your pom poms… or wine!
I received these gorgeous new Hot Foils from Crafty Critta recently and haven’t had a chance to use them until today and of course I chose the ‘Barley Blue’… it’s so dreamy! But did you know that you can paint with foils? YES you can and I have a quick video sharing my secrets, and you can find that linked below.

I used the Pinkfresh Sweet Blooms Hot Foil die, which has been on my desk forever!

And I added a sentiment from the Hello and Hugs Bundle. I actually used the new Stampwheel from Altenew which I’ve been testing, and you can see it in the video too. I’ll let you know my thoughts, but I do need to play with it more, it has so many possibilities.

You can watch the video here or Watch it in HD on YouTube.
I hope this has been helpful and given you some tips and inspiration to create with Hot Foil and Watercolours! And if you do, I’d love you to share them with me on Social Media, Crafty Hugs,
