If you are looking for creative ways to use your foil sheets, then today’s project, featuring a subtle, mottled foil technique, is just for you.\u00a0 \u00a0Hello, Terri<\/a> here.\u00a0 Get the hand wipes ready because we are going to get sticky, inky and sparkly!<\/p>\n

Mottled Technique<\/h2>\n

If you’re not sure what mottled means, it’s defined as spotted, speckled, flecks, marbled, streaky, blotchy, etc.\u00a0 I wanted a way to add foil to my card background but have a more subtle effect.\u00a0 My vision was to have speckles and a stringy effect.\u00a0 As you can see in the photo below,\u00a0 I did just that!\u00a0 Now, in my research, I couldn’t find anything quite like this, using the technique that I had in mind.\u00a0 To achieve this, I crumpled my Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch<\/a> and blotted it in a random pattern on my background.\u00a0 Next, I crumpled my gold foil sheet, from the\u00a03D Creative Foam Embellishment Kit<\/a>, laying it on top of my background and rubbing all over.\u00a0 Quickly rip the foil lining off your project and behold!<\/p>\n

Bonus Tip<\/h2>\n

If you wish to get a more stringy, mottled effect, gently rub your finger across some of the adhesive areas to create a more stringy appearance, then foil.\u00a0 I love this effect so much and I know you will too.\u00a0 It’s such a quick and easy technique and adds a wonderful mixed media element to your projects.\u00a0 Be sure and watch my video below to see the process in action.<\/p>\n
