SSS Ch529 Anything Goes, Gina K Designs

Hi Everyone!

I am here to introduce a new challenge at the fantastic Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is called:  Anything Goes
The team is showcasing products from: Gina K Designs

And this is my take:

I had trouble getting my laminator work so instead I stamped and copied the backgrounds in a laser printer to my cardstock. I then,  with a protective sheet of paper in between, ironed the foil to the printed cardstock. It worked really well, so if you are new to foil and don't know how much you'll use it (- maybe you are like me - not too fond of glitter on your cards!?) this could be a way to try.  

Supply list from the Simon says Stamp store:

Rose lace Background:
