Foiled Again

By Marianne Nash

Materials Required:

Foil sheet: Copper or Turquoise.

Tracing paper.

Masking tape.

Marker pen.

Soft cloth (a clean duster perhaps).

Clay modeller’s tools: Wooden knife and a

metal pointed tool (this could be a spent biro

or a metal knitting needle instead).

Smooth hard work surface.

Double sided tape.

P. V.A. Craft Adhesive.

Selection of single fold card mounts.

To Make The Cards:

These are general instructions for making this

type of card so you can make any of the designs

shown in the colour of your choice.

Choose a design and trace it from the dia-

gram. Take a sheet of foil and using the marker

pen, mark one side of the sheet as the ‘wrong

side’. This will save some confusion later.

Position the traced design onto the foil and

hold in place using a little masking tape. Using

the metal pointed tool retrace over the design

pressing firmly to make an imprint in the foil.

Remove the design and go over the impres-

sion again on the foil, pressing firmly to make

the shape more prominent.

Turn the foil over to work on the right side

and place it directly onto the hard surface. Using

the pointed tool work round the

outer edge of the raised design

to flatten the slight curve which

will have been made by pressing

the design out. This will have the

effect of making the design seem

more raised.

Tu rn the design over so the

wrong side is upwards and place

the work onto the cloth again.

Work on a smooth hard surface such as

formica, hardboard or glass, don’t use a wooden

surface. Spread

the soft cloth onto

the work surface

and place the foil

onto this with the

wrong side facing

upward.

Emboss areas within

the outlines using the

wooden knife. Rub

and press gently to

emboss slightly, for

deeper areas rub and

press more firmly, the

more you press, the

more the design will

be raised. Take care

not to push so hard

you pierce the foil.

Turn the work over

to work on the right

side, remove the cloth

again and work onto

a hard surface. Using

the pointed tool work

around the edge of the

design once more, re-

defining the outlines.

Actual Size

You can cut the design out using ordinary

scissors if you don’t want a foil background, cut

close to the raised design. You can leave as much

background as you like and make a pattern onto

it or leave it plain, use deckled scissors for this.

To make a pattern on the background, place

the foil onto the soft cloth and using the pointed

tool, mark the surface randomly with shapes

or squiggles.

Using double sided tape, mount the foil

design straight onto the card of your choice

or with mulberry or hand made paper to back

it and a peel off greeting if desired.
