Collaborating with Cat

Today is a very special day as it is time for another collaboration with the lovely Cat from Cat luvs paper. She very generously sent me this Spellbinders hotfoil plate and die set called Anemone Glimmer Blooms.

Of course I proceeded to make a number of cards.

This is the one that I have sent to Cat. I chose it in the end because the foiling was near perfect and in addition it was the negative piece that foiled so well. That doesn't happen often, so I was pretty chuffed.

I made 2 more exactly the same but using the positive foiled image. The negative didn't work with these 2. The friend die is part of the set and I think the hello comes from a Uniko set. The wonky dies are a resent acquisition from the Heffy Doodle closing down sale. The heart stamp is from an ancient set that I found in my stash.

Of course, if you ask me which is my favourite it would be the green one, but unfortunately if you look closely there is an area where the foiling is a little blotchy. I am not going to point it out.

I am sad to report that my foiling machine is still playing up. I took it to my local repair hub and they confirmed that it is the way the plate connects to the base. It has become loose and is difficult to fix. they have kept hold of it to see if they can work out a way to sort it out. I am waiting hopefully. I do love my foiling machine.

Thanks Cat for being such a good friend and inspiration to me.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
