Tools

• Draft paper, pencil, eraser
• Micro Gel Ball Pen 0.5
• Cardstocks
• We R Memory Keepers® Foil Quill™ Fine Tip Freestyle Pen

Instructions

Step 1

Always begin with your design on paper. Since Christmas is around the corner, I picked Christmas wreath as my design.

Step 2

Once you are comfortable with the design you can start drawing on the greeting cards. I used 0.5 Micro Gel Ball pen for the outline on the cardstock.

Step 3

Since I only want to highlight a few leaves, to achieve this result place a tracing paper on top and trace the leaves you want to do foiling on it.

Step 4

Plug in the Foil Quill Pen, it takes around 5 minutes to heat up. While waiting for the pen to heat up you can place the foil paper in between the card and tracing paper. Add tape to secure the placement when necessary.

**Remember you need to purchase HEAT ACTIVATED FOIL SHEET specially. A regular foil sheet will not transfer the foil onto another surface.

Step 5

Trace the leaves and remove the tape with care once you are done. There you have your foil piece. 

ENJOY!
