On our Yahoo Group, there was a discussion about foil and metal leafing and it was such a long time since I’d played with either, that I did a few experiments.
1 Copper foil with Stamp ‘n’ Bond
2 Mixed colour leafing with Stamp ‘n’ Bond
3 Mixed colour leafing on d/s tape, with Mica powder on the image
I used the glue pad on this, but it didn’t work, so I added some mica powder. I hadn’t cleaned the stamp after using Versamark, so there was ink left on it, which may well have affected the result. Need to try this again.
4 Gold foil on Stamp ‘n’ Bond, but a you can see, I overstamped with Versamark
5 Today I tried copper leaf on glossy black card, using the Tsukineko Stamp ‘n’ Stick Glue Pad
The messy bits are both on the scanner glass and on the card – unfortunately, black glossy shows every tiny mark, including finger prints - despite being ‘polished’ afterwards. The leafing worked beautifully and easily. I love the way you can’t feel where the leafing begins and ends on gloss – very different from on matt card.
Here’s the latest journal page – final touches just added but it’s a continuation of yesterday’s work, which started as a double page spread but evolved.
I really love these ‘Off the Wall’ stamps, but I keep meaning to draw the images in my head – will do it one day …

Love the samples, especially when you use foil on a black surface. Plus it's another fantastic journal page. I agree, those stamps are a treat :) Pxx
I've never been able to get on with satmp and bond maybe I should give it another go
Fab page too :)

interesting test pieces showing the diff products. Thanks for sharing.
I've just got some sticky embossing powder from Ranger which I'm assuming is the same stuff as stamp n bond, but I love it. It's stays sticky quite a long time after it's been heated and it seems easy to apply foils and guilding flakes etc to it.

fabulous page and what a great experiment you had with the foiling. I must have another play soon
Fabulous journal page, I love the image.
I love your foiling samples, I had a not very successful play at the weekend, I'll have another go but I might be entering something that I made ages ago for the challenge.
