WPlus 9 Watercolor and Foil!
Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! I had this idea of combining Heidi Swapp Foiling with a bit of watercoloring to create a card and chose the WPlus9 Autumn Leaves stamp set to have the perfect images to try this technique!
I started out white embossing the images onto Tim Holtz watercolor card stock (my favorite because it’s such a true white)!
Once my images were embossed, I ran the panel through the Heidi Swapp Minc machine using silver foil. Oh La La! It’s so shiny!! From there I used my Pine Needles, Iced Spruce and Evergreen Bough Distress inks to watercolor.
I’m thrilled at how this technique turned out. I’ve shot a video on how to do each step of the process. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.

Your card is awesome! I LOVE it! And I love your technique of using foil with watercoloring! Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration!
Absolutely beautiful card. Love the colors, and the use of the foil.
I love the technique used and this card is gorgeous!
Such an inspiring card too. Can’t wait to try it out, though will have to make something without a minc machine!
Wow! Amazing technique and stunning card!
Beautiful. Have never tried foiling. Hugz
Gorgeous card. Thanks for sharing.
I really really love the grey color of hello sentiment…The card is so elegant :)
Very pretty card! Interesting water color technique used. I have used the same foiling technique with clear embossing powder with my Minc machine as well and found it saves a lot of money compared to using the toner when you don’t have a laser printer! Thanks for sharing your technique Shari!
beautiful card, I love it!
Beautiful card! Thanks for the video.
Love how the watercolor is soft and goes slightly outside of the lines. :) Thanks for sharing.

This is a great way to do water color!
Another great technique and video, Shari! Love the card.
Just got the leaves from Wplus9 ans anxious to try your sample
Very pretty! I love that paper too! It is white and yet handles all the wear and tear of paints, water etc!!
Beautiful card! I love the colors – not your traditional fall leaf color.
That foiling is amazing, Shari! I’ve wondered how the Minc worked.
Lovely! I want to try this!
