The cards I am showing today use foil but NO laminator. I use double sided adhesive for foiling today : )
I stamped the pumpkin twice and the sentiment once from the Unity set Faith Family Fall using Black Nuvo Hybrid ink. Next, on a fresh piece of cardstock, I stamped the Barn Wall image in Distress ink. The pumpkin image is stamped on the base cardstock, and layered with a fussy cut image that is colored with Copics. The flower top was cut from yet another image that was fussy cut after coloring it in.
I sponged a touch of Distress ink on the panel and around the edges and added a touch of an orange shade on it as well.
For the foiling, I took 1/4" score tape and ripped it, added some ripped pieces to random spots on the background. I used Gold foil that was colored with an E7 Copic marker and added the foil to the areas where there was tape. Next, I added 1/4" score tape to the paremeter of the card, leaving a mere 1/16" on the edge. That foil is also gold colored with E7 Copic marker. On the edge, I colored a border with E37 Copic. I added jewels to the card. The sentiment is embossed with Ranger Queens Gold EP on Vellum, and added to the corner of the card.
It is very shimmery IRL.....
Next, I used foil with dies.
The image was colored with Copics. I so love this sweet image!!!
And, a sampling of a die cut with double sided tape and a die (Lawn Fawn).
The image Hello Pumpkin was stamped in Black Nuvo Hybrid ink. It is colored with Copics, I cut it out using Gina Marie dies. The Lawn Fawn Hello die was cut out with double sided adhesive on the cardstock. The foil was burnished over the adhesive.
Did you also notice the center strip I added under the image? It is a strip of 1/4" sticky tape- with gold foil burnished over it. Fun accent, huh? Nice way to add bling to your card and still let the image be center stage!

Thanks for showing other ways with foil. They all turned out great and I like how many stamp sets you used in the first card.
