Materials:
AquaBond (Metallic Copper)
AquaCreme
AquaColors (Copper and Bronze Metallic)
metallic foil (Champagne)
Imprint Coat
rags
two 2" chip brushes
Palette Art Bronze
Royal Design Studio stencils
3" plastic trowel
cheesecloth
Steps:
- Apply two base coats of AquaBond Metallic Copper. Let dry.
- Using Palette Art Bronze and a three-inch plastic trowel, paint stencil in an embossing method. Make sure the material is raised above the stencil about 1/8 of an inch and let dry.
- Apply Imprint Coat with a brush for 100 percent coverage over the area to be foiled (it will only bond to the area where the Imprint Coat is).
- Apply Champagne foil with the shiny side up and push it down hard with a rag. Use a stiff brush to push it own around the raised embossed areas. Peel off the face of the foil.
- If more foil coverage is desired, repeat Steps 3 and 4.
- Tint AquaCreme 30 to 50 percent with AquaColor Metallic Bronze and Metallic Copper mixed together in equal parts.
- Apply mixed AquaCreme over foil and pat off evenly with cheesecloth.
